         2. Strip Grazing


         This means grazing animals on small plots separated by a tem-

         porary wire.


         The wire sometimes carries low current (electricity) that con-
         trols the movement of animals in selected pasture areas

         (strips).


         Animals graze in one strip at a time until they have gone

         through the pasture and back to the first strip.
