Abstrakt: Harvested herbage yields were not statistically different under clipping versus grazing conditions. Rapid shifts in botanical composition occurred from season to season that could not be attributed to grazing or clipping managements. However, within a season Ladino clover did better under clipping than under grazing conditions. Orchardgrass persisted better on the grazed plots. Plant responses within a season are attributed to animal preference of clover over grass. Ladino was very susceptible to injury from drouth and heaving.
