The defoliation of pasture species by cattle was monitored for two wet-dry seasonal cycles in recently burnt native monsoon perennial tallgrass pastures. Cattle were least selective at the start of the rainy season when post-burn growth was short, and most selective at the end of the rainy season when herbage was stemmy and mature.
