RULE 2 PERMITS <br />Numerous studies, including Kufeld, et al (1973), Plummer, et al (1968), Marquiss, et al (1974), Gomm <br />(1969), and DePuit, et al (1976) document the desirability and compatibility of the introduced species for <br />range seeding from a wildlife and domestic livestock standpoint. These studies document such things as <br />the preference for introduced species by Mule Deer, Elk and livestock due to the high palatability and <br />nutritional values of these species. <br />Further justification for the use of introduced species involves the availability of certain native species, <br />adapted to the Colowyo site on a commercial basis. During some years, conditions may arise due to <br />drought, disease, etc., where the availability of sufficient quantities of certain native species may become <br />limited, resulting in the increased use of other species, including introduced species. Therefore, it is <br />necessary to provide the flexibility in a seed mixture that allows for these unforeseen problems. A large <br />diverse mixture with both natives and introduced species provides the flexibility of developing a desirable <br />seed mixture on a yearly basis, while not being adversely affected by unfavorable commercial seed <br />market conditions.
