A Method of Determining Range Forage Utilization by Sheep

Key Points

The method effectively measures forage utilization, providing reliable data on sheep grazing habits.
It uses weight measurement to quantify forage intake, indicating its practical applications in range management.
The technique was rigorously tested in western Colorado, supporting its relevance for sheep management and research.
Results demonstrate the method's utility for both range administrators and researchers in understanding forage dynamics.

Abstract

Abstract During the course of a study on the management of sheep using summer range in western Colorado, a method of determining forage utilization by weight was developed and carefully tested. The principles on which this method is based are not new but the technique of application and results obtained merit consideration by both range administrators and research workers. A description of the method, together with pertinent results of its application, is the subject of this article.
