No season is "best" for grazing Inestock in riparian areas. Li\-estock will affect riparian vegetation and physical conditions differently depending on many factors, including the time of year, the site's physical characteristics and condition, the stage of plant communities in both the riparian area and the uplands, and the current weather.
