Judging and Evaluating Range and Pasture Forage Utilization (Proper Grazing Use) for Certain Portions of the Central Great Plains

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide the range- land management specialist, professional agricul- turalist, soil conservationist, and extension agent and specialist the basis for making sound and informed conservation planning, decision-making, and live- stock grazing management decisions that are ecologically and biologically based for ranch planning and public lands plan- ning within the region of the Central Great Plains.

Many guidance documents and references have been pre- pared by various federal and state agencies on the subject of proper grazing use throughout the years. I have determined to bring many of these documents and references into one summarized article for efficient use by field personnel. Here is my summary of these documents and references.
