The period from 1880 to 1900 is regarded as the period of “spoilation” of western rangelands. In Albert Potters own words, “Quick profits and fortunes lead to speculation and incredible numbers of stock were placed upon the range. Cowman was arrayed against sheep man, big owners against small, and might ruled more often than right.” The Government took no action until 1891 when the Creative Act established the Forest Reserve system under the Interior Department’s General Land Office (GLO). Lacking authority and undermined by political appointees, the GLO foundered until the reserves were transferred to the Bureau of Forestry in …

This proceedings includes 37 papers and posters presented at the "Sharing Common Ground" symposium. The information represents the progress made in livestock/big game management since the 1991 symposium with the theme of "Seeking Common Ground." The broad range of topics includes the rangeland resource, the science of livestock/big game interactions, the human dimension, and the success stories from the seeking common ground partnership demonstration projects.

The Shoshone National Forest proposes to issue Term Grazing Permits that will authorize the grazing of livestock on 36 grazing allotments located within the Forest. Permits will be issued for a period of up to 10 years. Part 3 (Special Terms and Conditions) of each permit would contain site specific livestock and rangeland management requirements designed to mitigate existing resource conflicts and implement Forest Plan standards and guidelines specific to each allotment.
Open Stream Collection And Diversion: An Added Dimension In Providing Water For Grazing Animals, United States Bureau Of Land Management
Open Stream Collection And Diversion: An Added Dimension In Providing Water For Grazing Animals, United States Bureau Of Land Management

This technical note describes an effective system for collecting water from open streams and conveying it several miles via pipeline systems to watering troughs in arid locations. Perhaps one of the greatest challenges in managing lands that produce forage for grazing animals is to strike a desirable balance between forage and water. However, on native grazing lands, this is rarely the case due to terrain and uneven distribution of water. The "open stream collection and diversion system" addresses this issue with a specific engineering solution.

Every 5 years, the Forest Service is required to update its estimates of the value of Forest Service grazing. This report provides estimates of the maximum ability of ranchers to pay for Forest Service grazing. Abilities to pay vary greatly depending on the region of the country and assumptions about costs. Based on current cash costs, the value of Forest Service grazing is greater than the grazing fee. Based on longrun economic costs, the value of grazing is less than the grazing fee. In some regions of the United States, the longrun value of grazing is zero. These low longrun …
