| Abstract | Diurnal activities of beef cattle and the plant species grazed during various seasons are important in formulating grazing management plans and for nutritional studies. Breeds of cattle may perform differently on rangelands of southern New Mexico. Hereford is the predominant breed in the Southwest. Santa Gertrudis, whose genetic background includes the Brahman, may be better adapted to the hot, arid environment of this area. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences, if any, in the activities and species preference of Hereford and Santa Gertrudis cows. |
