Marandu) being the main cultivated forage grass (Santos Filho 1996). B. brizantha cv. Xaraés was released as an option for diversifying forage species; it has high herbage yield and fast re-growth, favoring high stocking rates and animal productivity (Euclides et al. 2008; 2009). The objective of this study was to evaluate herbage accumulation and animal performance of beef steers grazing continuously stocked Xaraés palisade grass managed at 15, 30 and 45 cm sward height.  aForage grasses  aGrazing management  aLiveweight gain  aBrachiaria brizantha  aGramínea forrageira  aHerbage1 aEUCLIDES, V.
