Posted February 2007

It presents grazing as a feeding alternative that mimics natural systems, protects erodible land, and saves money for farmers. It answers questions children might have about grazing, such as, “What do pastured cows do in the winter?” and, “Does the milk taste different when cows eat grass?”. This worksheet can be downloaded and photocopied, and it includes a maze and a crossword puzzle.
