Use 900 pounds airdry weight as <br />the amount of forage required to support ohe animal unit <br />month (AUM). From the available forage, calculate the <br />number of acres needed t� support each AU for the length of <br />the planned grazing season. <br />7.

Shrubs and Utah juniper trees <br />may increase slightly. Total annual production decreases <br />greatly. If the site is overgrazed by sheep, the grasses, forbs, <br />and shrubs will decrease in pounds per acre. Fires in this area <br />are generally small since production is so low. There is not <br />enough fuel to carry a fire in normal years. Plants that can <br />become a part of the site when in a low condition class include <br />clasping pepperweed, kochia, Russian thistle, cheatgrass and <br />other annuals. . <br />Semidesert Juniper Loams #113 Page .4 of 8 <br />Productivity by Canopy Class <br />0 - 15% <br />200 to 300 lbs /acre <br />bobcat <br />rock squirrel <br />gopher snake <br />sagebrush lizard <br />chukar <br />mourning dove <br />plain titmouse <br />
