Area" (most of the foothills on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley, 

 from Madera County southward). 



For study purposes the range is subdivided into a number of pastures 

 (fig. 2). Most of the forage studies were made in experimental pastures 

 1 to 6, which were devoted primarily to determining the effect of different 

 intensities of grazing on both cattle and range. When not in these 

 grazing-intensity pastures, the cattle were held in pastures 10, 12, and 14- 

 The remainder of the experimental pastures (7, 8, 9, 11, and 18) were 

 used for trials on cattle feeding and for grazing of miscellaneous animals.
