The Relation of Cattle Behavior To Environmental Factors

Abstract: A 5 page overview of cattle behavior. Provides a background on cattle domestication and the long term relationship with man. Notes, however, that cattle behavior in more open areas is considerably more complex than that observed in feed lots and dairy barns. Correlates behavior such as grazing, sleeping, and body position to the type and height of plant species, the type of terrain, the position of the sun, and other environmental factors. References lists 6 sources.
