<br />oats {;rams, blue gram,, and native blury,~•assvs make up
<br />u high per(•entagc of the total pruductiun. If the range
<br />has deteriorat(d, blue ywma, junegruss, and native
<br />bluegrasses increase. Sleepygruss and annuals replace
<br />these gt•asses if thu range has variously deteriorated.
<br />pcath of livestock that eat poisonous plants increases as
<br />the range deterim•ates.
<br />Proper range mnnugement helps to maintain the vigor
<br />and production of pl:utts. Yraper location of livestock
<br />avatering facilities helps to control grazing. Seeding is a
<br />goad pl:tctice il' the range is in poor condition. Seeding of
<br />the native aegrtation is desirable, but the range can also
