Not to mention cattle munching it in fields

Can't remember which one but I seem to recall that sheep farmers made
life very difficult for the cattle men in America because the sheep
grazed the grass too low for it to regenerate or maybe cattle need
taller grass?

From the film Oklahoma? :-)

Cows eat by wrapping the grass around their tongues and pulling. Sheep
make the grass too short to do that

I remember from school the order to put cattle/livestock on the land to
clear it. Cows as you say, sheep as you say, pigs to dig the roots out!!
