Highly productive switch cane range in Washington County, N. C. On a sustained-yield basis this range will support a cow and calf on acres from May until December. This site was formerly a hardwood forest which has been completely destroyed by repeated fires following lumber- ing and drainage. Another interesting new item from the North Carolina studies is that better switch cane ranges can be used in either partially or completely finishing cattle for the market. The native range, by supplying the roughage in the fattening ration, provides the equivalent of 10 lbs. of hay per steer daily, or about 1,500 lbs. during the finishing period. 38.
