Abstract

Average animal performance data of 1.5 lb/animal daily gain, two calendar months of grazing, and 20 lb/acre gain were obtained from 5 years of using crested wheatgrass under a 2-crop (May) and 1-crop (June) system of grazing. Regrowth was obtained on early use (2-crop) pastures in only 2-out of the 5 years. Extension of results to users was hastened by involving ranchers, a county agent, and a federal agency manager in the study.
