One common Best Management Practice (BMP) for cattle operations is rotational grazing. This is the act of moving cattle from pasture to pasture to avoid overgrazing of one area. A report was done by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service to find the adoption rate of rotational grazing practices in cow-calf operations. This report found that 40 percent of these operations are using rotational grazing, while 40 percent of that number use intensive rotational grazing. These practices are more common in the Northern Plains, Western Corn Belt, and Appalachian regions.
