Abstract

Grazing management practices that allow cattle to congregate near pasture streams may result in soil compaction and accumulation of manure near the streams and the loss of vegetative cover. These conditions may cause sediment, phosphorus, and pathogen loading of streams by direct deposition of feces or in precipitation runoff.
