The site is a Cobbly foothill range site. The area <br />is within the Southern Rocky Mountain Foothills Resource Area. <br />Production on the site is approximately 1600 pounds on the <br />areas that have not been disturbed. Ground cover averages <br />35 per cent. The production from the site is mainly due to <br />the grasses. The carrying capacity, assuming the site will <br />be revegetated to resemble the present community, should be <br />limited to one animal unit~4-5 Acres month. (An animal unit <br />is the feed required to maintain a 1000 lb, cow for one month.) <br />Vegetation identified on the site includes: <br />~RAS~FS <br />FORBS <br />Curly cup gumweed <br />Hibiscus root <br />;fild celery <br />Penstomen <br />Haire gold aster <br />M1;ullen <br />davy leaf thistle <br />Bush buckxheat <br />Annual buclarheat <br />Senecio <br />Primrose <br />Drummonds milkvetch <br />Small pod milkvetch <br />SILRUES <br />Herbaceous sage <br />Fringed sage <br />Prickly pear <br />'lormrrood sage <br />' Big bluestem <br />Little bluestem <br /> Junegrass <br /> Blue grama <br />' Squirrel Tail <br /> Hestern wheatgrass <br /> Thick spike wheatgrass <br /> Green needlegrass <br />' Needle and thread <br /> I:iountain muhly <br /> Kentucky bluegrass <br />' Three awn <br /> Sun sedge <br /> Japanese B•rome <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Revegetation guidelines may be obtained from the Soil <br />Conservation Service. <br />' 23 <br />
