Plan the ^casim of use (spring, summer, full, winter) u'itl\ii\ a grujtn^ unit aecitnlin^ to inanoficnient objccIii'L's, the UfeeyeU-s and ncfds (»//)l(inf\, ami animal nutritional needs. There is no single grazing schedule that can he applied to all situations because every grazing unit is unique. and animal nutritiotial needs. Coordinate the season of use with live- stock management operations, such as breeding and calving/lambing periods. Bear in mind that early spring use may cause resource damage when soils and streambanks are wet and more susceptible to compaction and animal trampling. Early spring use also removes new leaf growth at a critical time in their growth cycle. These leaves are needed for photosynthesis, and their removal may result in reduced forage production throughout the growing season. Pastures seeded to introduced plant species such as crested wheatgrass or Russian wildrye that have been developed prima- rily for early spring use can provide early spring forage for livestock while native pastures begin their yearly growth cycle. Encourage the growth of desirable trees, shriibs, and other woody ]-'lants in grazing units, especially in riparian areas. 10 peiX r7Aj-vA^e*»*«*vt P'iA^^ti'Ce^ (>HP^) lc\ Lfi^i^jX^v^.
