COYOTE PROOF PASTURE
SUCCESS SAYS F-S EXPERT.
The following summary of results
from the coyote-proof pasture con
ducted by the Forest service in this
county, will be of Interest to stock
growers. "Portland J. T. Jardine, grazing
expert in the Forest service, before
leaving for the Wallowa National
forest to observe range conditions
during the lambing- seaosn, spoks
of the work of the service there as
follows:
. "The experimental work conducted
at coyote-proof pasture on the Wal
lowa National forest last Beason was
a continuation of the work begun in
1907, for the purpose of studying the
pasturage system of handling sheep
with a view - to bringing about the
highest possible utilization of Vjrazing
lands.
"The coyote-proof fence constructed
In 1907 was repaired and the enclos
ure cleared of animals in May of 1908.
On June 21 ft band of 2,200 ewes and
lambs of Rambeiuliet. breed were
turned loose in the enclosure. During
this time an accurate record was kept
for the purpose of ascertaining the
TUlTYirtPi nn H Irtnrt rt animate AAmlna1
to the enclosure, and the attitude of
each toward the coyote-proof fence.
Coyotes were at the fence line nearly
ever night during the 95 days of test,
arid not one succeeded in getting
through. Grizzly bear and brown bear
passed . through the enclosure many
times, but did not mole3t the sheep,
and it may ba of interest to note that
two grizzlies and five brown bear
were kii:el within the pasture or
near it.
"At the close of the season the
short wool lamb3 of the pasture band
then six months o'd, averaged 72
pounds. The best lambs of the same
breed, and the same age herded on
range near the pasture, but richer In
foiage crops than the pasture area
jiaged 64 pounds. The average
weights of four bands of one-half
Shropshire lambs from choice sum
oer range, were 63, 64, 65, and 69
pounds.
"The loss from the pasture band
was less than one-half of one per
1 cent, ine average loss, during tne
Acre
i
same ;?erijd, from outside bands was
hree ier cent.
"Canrful compa lso i of range graz
ed und er the two systems showed
chat 50 per cent 13 a conservative
estimate for the Increase in carrying
capacity of lands grazed under the
pasture system over lands grazed
under the customary methods of
herding.
"Ve have then, an increased carry
ing capacity of 50 per cent, larger I
;U ratter sheep, far le3s loss and
we may anticipate a heavier, cleaner
crop of wool.'.'
