Carter-Fallon Forage Committee Range/Livestock Project

Summary

The proposal follows up a previously funded project continuing range research. The study will be continued to obtain longer term information on eight alfalfa varieties with the data including production, stand density, and longevity. Also the study will be extended for alfalfa and alfalfa seed depredation by wildlife which is nature dependent and subject to change. Further study will define interactions between livestock and wildlife, and determine diets and diet composition of wildlife.
