STOCK EXEMPT PROM PERMIT. (Reg. G-2.) 



No stock may be grazed without a permit, except milch or work 

 animals which are in actual use. A settler owning only 10 head or 

 less of stock which are neither milch nor work animals will be required 

 to apply for permit and pay the grazing fees, while a settler owning 

 any number of stock will oe allowed to graze 10 head of milch or work 

 animals without permit and free of charge. 



The privilege must not be abused, but, on the other hand, some 

 discretion may be used in the interpretation of the 

 term " milch or work animals." The settler's family 

 may be using all the milk produced or he may be 

 operating a dairy. Saddle animals may be used for handling stock 



f razed under permit and at the same time be stock horses which are 

 red or sold by the permittee as a part of his stock business. Work 

 horses may be used in timber sales or improvement work for a part of 

 the season and for other purposes during the remainder of the time. 

 Milch cows may dry up and run on the range during a part of the 

 season. The determination of whether an exemption may or may not 

 be allowed rests with the Supervisor, the only restriction being that 

 each class of animals must be used for the purposes mentioned at 

 least during a part of each year, or else must be covered by a graz- 

 ing permit. A saddle horse not in use and turned out to graze dur- 

 ing any entire established season should be covered by permit. 



In cases where transportation companies are grazing large numbers 

 of horses which are used in transporting travelers within National 

 Forests, the stock must be covered by permit. 



Special concessions may be made by the Secretary of Agriculture 



to Indians who are dependent upon the use of the 



to s e d c iais ncessions National Forest ranges for the pasturage of their 



stock. In all cases where it appears that concessions 



should be made to Indians a report of the facts will be made by the 



Supervisor to the District Forester who will forward a copy of the 



report to the Forester with suitable recommendations. 



Rangers will keep a record and include in their report for the 



Record of stock q uar ter ending September 30 each year, a statement 



grazed without per- of the approximate number of owners and of stock 



grazed without permit in each district, in order that 



the .Supervisor may consider it in his annual Forest plan.
