The silvopasture practice integrates the rotational grazing of livestock and the growing of trees on the same piece of land. My research is at the MU Wurdack farm, located between St. James Missouri, and Salem Missouri. Twenty-five wooded acres have been thinned, leaving the best trees that the site had to offer. This is very similar to a crop tree thinning, with the predominant leave tree species being white oak. The study is designed to identify the impacts that rotationally grazed cattle have on the growth of overstory white oak trees and planted white oak regeneration. To date the project has a forest control with no thinning, a thinned forest without grass, a thinned forest with grass established, and a thinned forest with grass established and that is also being rotationally grazed.
