Abstract
In a Louisiana test, heavy utilization during growing seasons following fires applied at 3-year intervals improved forage palatability and nutritive content; the ensuing 2 years of lighter use restored plant vigor. Burning also top-killed brush and aided herbage growth by removing pine litter. Cows with calves gained weight throughout the growing season on rotation-burned range.

The principal objectives were to determine the average cumulative seasonal herbage production on ungrazed bluestem range, the effect of repeated removal of herbage on total seasonal production, and the influence ofHerbage removal during the growing season on nutritive qualities of the grass.
