This plan involves frequent redi-vision of range or departure from individual ranges for each bandduring the grazing season. It may work satisfactorily in somecases, but not generally. If it is necessary in order to build up anarea, however, such a plan with its accompanying readjustmentsshould be followed. The application of this plan would involvethe substitution of allotments for the subdivisions in figure 4 and inthe example given on page 61. It would be difficult and perhaps unnecessary to discuss furtherthe local problems to be overcome in applying deferred grazing. Thesuggestions given here and in the paragraphs on Grazing Periodsand Grazing Capacity will make clear the importance of giving eachportion of the range the maximum opportunity for unhinderedgrowth after the growing season opens. Where possible a system ofdeferred and rotation grazing should be put into application. Wherethe application of
