I am a student at Colorado Mountain College and am involved in a research project. I have developed a 10 question survey in an attempt to identify the perceived barriers and benefits to high intensity/low frequency rotational grazing systems. To all that this applies, please take the time to respond to this survey so that my research can be based on empirical evidence. I have also attached some materials for explanation of terms. Thank you for your help.

a. Deferred rotation
b. Rest rotation
c. High intensity-low frequency
d. Short duration
2. What makes it difficult or challenging for you to practice that type of grazing system?
3. What do you see as beneficial or rewarding to practice that type of grazing system?
4. What makes it difficult or challenging for you to practice the short duration grazing system?
5. What do you see as beneficial or rewarding to practice the short duration grazing system?
6. What type of stocking method do you use?
a. Continuous set stocking
b. Continuous variable stocking
c. Set rotational stocking
d. Variable rotational stocking
7. What makes it difficult or challenging for you to practice that type of stocking method?

Hi Jon, Please find attached reply to your questions.
I have tried to stayed focused on barriers to adoption.
We have data to support these comments Regards,

Hi Jon, I have been training for over 20 years in planned grazing My thinking is that we are not currently addressing many of the barriers. Unable to find the survey - am I missing something? Regards,Graeme
