Rx Grazing
Prescription (Rx) Grazing is the application of livestock grazing at a specified season, duration, and intensity to accomplish specific vegetation management goals. Hawai'i is different because of a lack of seasons and a need for year-round vegetation management.
Fire Management
​Rx Grazing effectively reduces fuel loads of grasses and shrubs, reducing the severity and extent of wildfires. Specific treatment types can be applied by utilizing a variety of livestock species in addition to sheep, including goats and cattle, each having differing dietary and grazing behaviors.
