MAJOR USES AND INTERPRETATIONS FOR:
1. Grazing
This site provides excellent spring and early-summer forage for '
sheep, cattle, horses, antelope and small mammals.
The animal forage preference changes as the spring season progresses
into summer, fall, and winter. The dominant grass species needle and _
thread, little blueatem, prairie sandreed, switchgrass, prairie
junegraes and sun sedge are more desirable in the spring and early '
summer, while bluegrama, eideoats grams and thickspike wheatgrass are
most desirable in the summer and fall. Bluegrama and eideoats grams
retain. their nutritive value after maturing, therefore they make ,
excellent winter forage.
Vegetative palatability will influence proper use considerations.
The season, kind of grazing animal, past grazing use, and associated ,
plant species will directly influence the variation in animal preference
for forages under various climatic conditions.
