The timing of livestock grazing affects soil surface hydrology and physical qual-
ity, thus influencing soil hydrologic function (Stavi et al. 2011). Soil properties were
measured in a paddock under rotational grazing during the growing season only
and compared with those under grazing during the dormant season and rotational
grazing during the growing season. In comparison with grazing during the growing
