Based on the data in the current study it can be concluded that beef cattle at pasture spend most (more than 95%) of their time engaged in four major behaviours, grazing, walking, standing ruminating/resting and lying resting/ruminating. There were 14 other behaviours observed, but these only accounted for the remaining 5% of the time budget. The data presented in the current study form the basis of what can be considered to be normal behaviour of cattle at pasture.
