Excerpt from Crested Wheatgrass Grazing Values Each spring throughout the 11 - year period, careful attention was given to the growth and development of the crested wheatgrass in order that grazing might be started as early as possible. As soon as the new leaves averaged 3 to h inches in length, a height considered adequate to provide needed herbage, grazing was permitted. If grazing had been delayed beyond this point crested wheatgrass would have gotten ahead of the number of cattle available for the study and become coarse and stemmy with a resultant loss in grazing capacity.
