Regulated Grazing on the National Forests 



Top. — Sheep grazing on the Santa Fe National Forest, N. 

 Mex. Approximately 7,500,000 sheep use the Na- 

 tional Forest range each year. Damage to the vegetative 

 cover is prevented by limiting the number of stock to the 

 carrying capacity of the range and by proper methods of 

 handling, such as open herding, illustrated in the picture. 



Bottom. — Cattle grazing on the Santa Fe National Forest, 

 N. Mex. Approximately 2,000,000 cattle and horses use 

 the National Forest range each year. Full utilization of 

 the range is secured by the proper development of water 

 holes and salting grounds.
