Influence of cow age/experience and landscape thermal regimes on distribution and grazing patterns of cattle in northeastern Oregon mixed conifer forested rangelands

Creator:

Wells, Micah

Abstract:

Two studies were conducted to determine the factors influencing distribution of cattle on northeastern Oregon mixed-conifer forested rangelands. The objective of the first study was the quantification of differences in distribution of cattle of different ages. Beginning in 1991, and continuing through 2001, radio telemetry collars were placed on a...

Modeling animal movement to manage landscapes

Creator:

Larson-Praplan, Stephanie

Abstract:

Managing rangelands with livestock grazing is a tool that can be applied to obtain vegetation management objectives. Animals utilize available resources, which vary in quantity and quality, across the landscape. Their movements are adjusted to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of resource distribution. Controlling livestock distribution is fundamental to economically...
