What is the benefit of cattle grazing to nature? What is the downside?
Some point to data that finds that cattle grazing helps to fertilize grasses. Others assert that cattle erode streambanks, thereby detracting from the mission of the Valles Caldera National Preserve to preserve the land for future generations. They also point to the decrease in quality of recreation experiences of the preserve caused by cattle and their waste.
