BEHAVE is a research and outreach program that explores the
principles of animal behavior. Our primary focus is on diet and
habitat selection of livestock. Understanding how animals learn
will enable us to train animals to fit our landscapes rather
than having to modify our landscapes to fit our animals. Using
grazing as a tool will reduce our use of expensive machinery,
fossil fuels and toxic herbicides. By understanding how animals
learn we can use their natural behaviors to manage weeds,
enhance biodiversity, improve feeding systems, minimize use of
riparian areas and much more. FACULTY AND STAFF
