Grazing Public Lands In Western South Dakota - What's It Worth?, M. K. Beutler
Grazing Public Lands In Western South Dakota - What's It Worth?, M. K. Beutler
South Dakota Beef Report, 1989
South Dakota has relatively few acres of public rangeland when compared to other western states. However, public grazing in South Dakota can have a major impact on local area economies in which public grazing occurs. Total harvested AUMs have declined over the study period. The total value of public land grazing has climbed mainly due to higher cattle prices. In 1988, South Dakota public lands participated in the production of approximately $35 million in gross livestock production. This gross production generated an estimated $66 million in economic activity to the region. In 1988, public lands accounted for an estimated $22.8 …

Evaluation Of Controlled Release Chromic Oxide Boluses And Alkaline Peroxide Lignin As Marker Methods To Determine Forage Intake Of Grazing Ruminants, P.A. Momont, R. J. Pruitt, R. H. Pritchard
South Dakota Beef Report, 1989
Twenty Hampshire ram lambs used in a digestibility trial were administered controlled release chromic oxide intraruminal boluses to evaluate chromic oxide and alkaline peroxide lignin in combination as potential markers for determining intake of ruminants grazing dormant winter range. Lambs were fed ad libitum mature prairie grass hay and provided .1 Ib crude protein from one of four supplements. The ability to predict fecal output using chromic oxide boluses and diet digestibility using alkaline peroxide lignin were not affected by supplemental treatments. Chromic oxide concentration in the feces was not affected by the time of sampling. The amount of chromium …
