Fig. I. —Goats Resting in the Middle of the Day. 



Goats thrive best when allowed several hours of quiet grazing both in the cool of the morning 

 and evening and a rest on the range during the heat of the day.

The forage is closely grazed but uninjured. Besides the goals, cattle also have bedded on this 

 area. The use of many bed grounds for short periods makes possible the elimination of over- 

 grazing, fresh feed at all times, greater grazing capacity, and greater production of mohair 

 and meat.
