During May, 2007 grazing behavior of Awassi sheep was recorded through day light for nine days from at 8:00 am up to 18:00 sheep behavior was recorded each 6 minutes interval. Sheep were grouped into three different intensities (light (L). moderate (M) and heavy (H) grazing). Selected sites were surveyed for vegetation species. Plant list was prepared; vegetation coverage percentage, species frequency, abundance , density, relative density and shanon diver's index were calculated. Plant productivity was determined. Allowable productivity and stocking rate were calculated.
