Research was initiated at the Squaw Butte Experimental Range in
southeastern Oregon to study the influence of crested wheatgrass
(Agropyron desertorum (Fisch.) Schult. ) herbage availability on relative
dry matter intake (DMI) of yearling steers. Herbage dry matter
production on an 18 ha range and daily fecal production of yearling...
A study was conducted over a two year period, 1973 through
1974, on perennial ryegrass-subclover pastures with stocking rates
of 7.4 (moderate), 9. 9 (heavy), and 12.4 (overstocked) ewes per
hectare to establish guidelines on stocking intensity for dryland
improved pastures in western Oregon. Climatic conditions varied
annually and caused...
A study to determine possible impacts of cattle and big game grazing on streamside erosional responses was initiated in 1975. The objectives of the study were to: (1) establish the study and collect base line measurements; (2) determine the impact of animal grazing on soil bulk density and erosional potential,...

Three five acre exclosures were established in 1964 to monitor
vegetational regeneration and forage productivity on a coniferous
forest site in northeastern Oregon which was clear-cut in 1963, broadcast
burned and seeded in 1964. Fence design and construction to
facilitate controlled early summer cattle grazing trials was completed
by 1965....
