Body
A grazing study was conducted on Stanley Creek in the Sawtooth National Forest in central Idaho. Cow/calf pairs grazed the riparian area in late June for 6 years under two stocking rates (light -26% utilization, and moderate- 45% utilization), with stocking density adjusted so both pastures were grazed for approximately the same amount of time (14 days). Sampling was conducted within each pasture, with a second, smaller sampling area devoted to streamside monitoring.
