Summer Is
Important
To Ranch
Colteg»? SlaiSon. Summer
,- . .--.g'-ment nt-t .rs used on
a rnnrh tend to entry over irct.i
fa.i ami winter, and eventually
determine whether or not a year
was as profitable as if emild
have been. G.O. Hoffman. <>>:-
tension ranee specialist. says
there are several practices that
should be earned out Ibis sum-
mer, hut whieli will provide ben-
efits lor tin- rest of the year
One of the recommend'd
! |mi”1 ires is deferred grazing
On a pasture that has just re.
rived a ruin, deferring allows
native masses to make rapid
growth, -masses ran make seed
.,) to if weeks but lest n.-sui’«
are obtained when the pasture
is deterred all summer. It is
also profitable to defer a past-
ure (hat has not had any rain
Native p a.-ses need a res:
tome every 1 years in order to
increase their vigor and re es-
Uldish their root system.
Another excellent way to re-
lieve grazing pressure on per-
manent pastures is to use tem-
porary pastures. Ranchers in
the drier area of the state
should also plan to reduce the
stocking rate by culling unpro-
ductive animal.s. Hoffman con-
tinues. Livestock numbers
should be balanced with the
amount of grass on the pasture.
Water is necessary (or good
grass production but in some
areas of the state moisture is
not too plentiful, it is therefore
wise to make profitable use of
every hit ol moisture available.
One way to do this is a, con-
struct diversion terra* es, known
• as "throw-outs, to divert the
run-off water from roadside
ditches onto the posture. Tile
added water will grow lots of
grass, says the sjiecbilis!. An-
•>'?]*-: way is to control brush
•mowing in the draws, creek bot-
tom* anil overflow areas. These
' prorluetive range sites will pro-
duce gig id grass when 'be brush
is taken off.
Something else to watch for
this summer is,.poisonous plant*
These [rests should be controlled
so as to keep livestock losses
to a minimum.
Hoffman says that under pre-
sent conditions, ranehnvn
should tarry out only thus''
range pi .-e lit es wh.cb rtsjuire
very little rash outlay He also
recommends using the cost-
sharing programs to help carry
out I he ranch improvement pro-
