Laurie Hodges
Windbreaks are barriers used to reduce and redirect wind. They usually consist of trees and shrubs but also may be perennial or annual crops and grasses, fences, or other materials. The reduction in wind speed behind a windbreak modifies the environmental conditions or microclimate in this sheltered zone.

Managing Livestock Using Animal Behavior: Mixed Species Stocking And Flerds, D. M. Anderson, Ed L. Frederickson, R. E. Estell
Managing Livestock Using Animal Behavior: Mixed Species Stocking And Flerds, D. M. Anderson, Ed L. Frederickson, R. E. Estell
Agriculture Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Mixed-species stocking can foster sound landscape management while offering economic and ecological advantages compared with mono-species stocking. Producers contemplating a mixed-species enterprise should reflect on several considerations before implementing this animal management strategy. Factors applicable to a particular producer's landscape must be considered together with goals and economic constraints before implementing mixed-species stocking. A major consideration when using mixed-species stocking is how to deal with predation losses, especially among small ruminants. An approach being adopted in some commercial operations capitalizes on using innate animal behaviors to form cohesive groups of two or more livestock species that consistently remain together under …
