Abstract: Objectives Compare the vegetation community structure on sites utilized by livestock and wildlife to those utilized by wildlife alone. Estimate forage utilization. Findings and Status Reconnaissance of the study area indicated that utilization levels at the sampling sites were representative of the area where the sample site was located. Highest use occurred in subirrigated perimeters of wet areas dominated by Kentucky bluegrass and clover. The need for improved grazing management in the Uhl Hill pasture is suggested by concentrated cattle grazing along the Uhl Draw riparian zones.

| ABSTRACT | Objectives
Compare the vegetation community structure on sites utilized by livestock and wildlife to those utilized by wildlife alone. Estimate forage utilization.
Findings and Status
Reconnaissance of the study area indicated that utilization levels at the sampling sites were representative of the area where the sample site was located. Highest use occurred in subirrigated perimeters of wet areas dominated by Kentucky bluegrass and clover. The need for improved grazing management in the Uhl Hill pasture is suggested by concentrated cattle grazing along the Uhl Draw riparian zones. |
