I would rate the seeded stand as averaging <br />"good" and I consider any stand th at rates good or better as being a <br />successful seeding. Based on observations on other seeded stands in aorth- <br />west-Colorado, I believe that this stand will continue [o fill in. ? <br />• also believe that this will become a moderately High yielding pasture. <br />Yield appeared co be fairly good in 1975 in spite of very low rainfall. <br />I thinl: that this pasture could be lightly to moderately grazed witaut <br />damage; in fact, grazing might cause the stand to thicken. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />William J.
