to mimic historical grazing regimes. Rotational grazing allows brief, intense grazing followed by a period of rest. Native grazers, such as bison or elk, are ideal, although domestic cattle, sheep, or goats will also work. The species of grazer used will substantially affect the end results. For example, bison (in comparison to cattle) will preferentially graze on grasses, increasing wildflower diversity. Sheep and goats prefer weeds to grasses. Goats have proven especially useful in controlling difficult species such as Honeysuckle or Multiflora Rose. Goats can also be used for species such as sumac, with high re-sprouting ability following prescribed fire.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-pagination:none;margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;language:EN;mso-ansi-language:EN'>The timing and intensity of grazing can be the most influential component to achieving desired results.
