In some soils even a low stocking rate will do damage. Cattle being heard animals they congregate in one place which will do plenty of damage. Say you have 10 animals on 100 acres that doesn't mean that they are all evenly spaced, it often means that all 10 animals are standing around a single point occupying 100sqft causing extensive root damage if it happens to be near a tree. For instance in the spring/early summer UP here when the sap is running the cows will congregate around a single tree that has a wound on it to lick the dripping sugary sap.
