applied and money spent are wasted unless grazing management takes place. 

 This means the proper number of livestock for the unit, moving the herd 

 periodically to rotate the use, adjusting the turn out time to let the 

 grass get growing before subjecting it to grazing, and any other applicable 

 measures are the mark of any successful operation. 



A grazing plan has been developed for many units on the Reservation. 

 These plans consist of an inventory of soils and vegetation or what there is 

 to work with. There is also a "package" of practices designed to fit the 

 needs of that particular unit. These plans are for the use of the operators 

 for they and they alone can make them work. To apply these plans takes effort 

 and money and a dedication to follow through year after year until the 

 range improves. Even then, continued maintenance is required. 



Examples of these management plans are included. Other plans for 

 other units are on file in the Land Services Department of the Bureau of 

 Indian Affairs in Ronan.
