A Demonstration of the Effects of Cattle and Wildlife Grazing on Forage Standing Crop and Trends in Plant Species Composition

Contents Menu Elk

The objective of this project was to establish permanent grazing exclosures that demonstrate the long-term, differential impacts of cattle, wildlife and cattle plus wildlife grazing on forage production and trends in range plant species composition.

Bull The demonstration was designed to reduce future disagreements among resource management personnel over levels of forage use by livestock and wildlife, and provide operational information for refining grazing management prescriptions.
