Body

The productivity, relative preference, and nutritive value of Idaho fescue makes it the most valuable forage species on summer cattle range on Black Mesa in western Colorado. Forbs that were abundant, high in nutritive value, and selected by cattle were aspen fleabane, aspen peavine, and agoseris in the mountain grassland type. Elk sedge was the major forage species in the aspen type.
