dense cattle herd
 
  High rainfall tropical savanna: stock density. 300 dry cows on 1/4 acre (1/10 ha) for 30 minutes provide very high animal impact -- essential in these high-productivity areas to get standing growth grazed down or trampled before the next growing season. In my experience it's nearly impossible to impact this sort of country too much.
