Overgrazed pasture versus ungrazed pasture in Fall River County, South Dakota. The left side of the fence is a pasture that has been overgrazed while the right side has not been grazed at all. Overgrazing reduces the usefulness, productivity, and biodiversity of the land and can cause erosion. Overgrazing weakens and eventually kills forage plants, which then allows weeds to grow in their place.
