Abstract

To manage any range effectively, the operator needs to know what plants make up the forage supply, their relative value as forage, their ability to withstand grazing, and when and how they are grazed. This paper presents the results of studies to determine how cattle utilize several important species on ponderosa pine-bunchgrass ranges in Colorado.
