It is <br />not poisonous to livestock. Mountain brome is recognized as being a <br />potential colonizer in terms of weediness. (See definitions of <br />weediness). This grass grows good in sandy loam and loam, and fair in <br />clay loam. It does best on gentle to moderate slopes. Erosion control <br />potential for this plant is medium, Establishment requirements are low <br />• and both the short term and long term revegetation potential ratings are <br />medium. Potential biomass production is medium with this grass <br />providing fair cover to game birds, small non-game birds and small <br />mammals. Its elk food value is good. Food value for deer, game birds, <br />small mammals and non-game birds is fair. Both cattle and sheep forage <br />palatability ratings are good. Energy value is fair, while protein <br />value is poor. <br />ORCHARDGRASS: DACTYLIS GLOMERATA L. <br />This species is an Eurasian introduction that grows in dry-moist <br />sites from 4,500 to 10,500 feet in Colorado. Orchardgrass is not <br />poisonous to livestock. It has the potential to become a colonizing <br />weed. Growth in sandy loam, loam and clay loam on gentle and moderate <br />• slopes is good and growth in these soils on steep slopes is fair. The <br />erosion control potential for this species is high.
