EASTERN OREGON
OUTDOORS
b* Mark Hj^rll
For years, the issue of running
livestock on public lands has hern a
veritable Ivabed of debate, particular
ly «hen those lands are host to
numerous wildlife Here in eastern
Oregon, line such controversy is the
amount of impact public cattle grazing
has on elk herds, and how much the
two compete for food
At the Starkey Experimental Forest
and Range on the Wallowa Whitman
National Forest, answers arc being
sought to questions that have existed since the two species first shared the
same range
Hie 10-year. 54 million "Starkey Project," a |oint effort between the
l SDA Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife,
incorporates over '8 miles of deer, elk and cattle proof fence that encloses
25.000 acres (about 40 square miles) of public forest land where resear
chers are studying the interactions of elk. deer and cattle and their reac
lion to n u n 's usage of the land
One study within the project, according to co project leader Donas in
I-cckenby, an ODFW wildlife research scientist, is aimed at correcting
an out dated formula that equates the number of elk it takes to consume
the same amount of forage as a domestic cow and her salt i \ f M animal
unit per nx>nth)
"W e arc looking at several questions some arc totally new questions
relative to here- about aninul unit equivalencies," leckenby says
"Everybody agrees that they're inaccurate, this whole study is designed
to make a better equation for alhvating forage on public lands
leckenby cited a "classic example" as one which occurred seceral years
ago when the elk herd within the Snake River unit was found to be doubl
mg With only a certain amount of forage per acre available, the land
management agency in charge of the area informed the cattlemen there
that public grazing would have to be restricted to pms ide more forage
for the building elk herd
"That didn’t set very well with the ranchers, who went straight to the
Governor and had him and a bunch of other people come out and look
at the situation." leckenby said "A t the same time, the Department was
looking at management objectives numbers of elk I'he key issue of the
whole thing was how much forage (was available) and how to allocate it
" I'he equation that's being used right now tor allocating forage bv At M
equivalencies is wrong it's just flat out wrong," l eckenby continued ' It
says it takes 2 5 to 5 elk to make one AI M cattle I hat s strictlv based
on body wieght, it has nothing to do with the behavior of the animals
how elk won't cat in the same places that cows do all the time and visa
versa The equation doesn't take those variables into account at all. but
it was the equation used to come up with the modification of management
objectives for elk in the Snake River unit This is a perfect example of
a situation where the new equation (when developed) could have said Hey .
this is wrong
The present equation, said to have been developed as far back as the
early I9MN. was actually formulated under the rather unrealistic condi
lions of placing elk and cattle together in small pens and feeding them the
same diet under the same weather conditions
"And To and Behold, they ate in proportion to body weight," I ccken
by said "About 2 5 elk ate the same amount as a MM) pound cow But
now turn them lix'sc and let them do what they want to do, and it ithe
equation) doesn't hold any more, because they don't spend the same amount
of time in the different habitats and they don't necessarily eat the same
plants or plant parts
leckenby stressed the fact that the present study, which essentially allows
elk and cattle to forage in areas of their choosing, will only provide need
ed accurate information about animal unit equivalencies it will not deter
mine whether more cattle or more elk will be allocated lor a given area,
a decision that will ultimately be left up to the land managers
When done properly. leckenby views cattle grazing as a beneficial land
management t»x>l
"But is has to be a managed situation m a given system and you follow
through with that plan and then they (cattle and elk) can benefit each other
"And it's not just here." l eckenby said, " it's m Colorado and Utah
and Africa F.very where you go. you look at (fiat kind of interaction with
these different ruminant animals running around in the wild and. it you
use them together, vou get more production off the landscape than if you
concentrate on one of them and say the other is a problem
