PLAN OF GRAZING FOR GOATS
Give Vegetation Opportunity to Grow
by Dividing Range on Which
Animals Forage.
(Prepared hy the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The production of more mohair and
meat can be obtained in raiding gouts
on the ranee by following a plan of
grazing which will give the vegetation
a chance to grow sufficiently to main
! tain Itself. Most goat ranges are used
! throughout the year. This and the
general practice of driving the goats
out from a corral at the ranch head
quarters and back every day for
months or throughout the year have
been largely responsible for deteriora
tion of the range. An excellent method
of giving tlie forage a proper oppor
tunity for growth is to divide the range
into three areas—one for spring, an
other for summer and fall, and a third
for winter.
The number and distribution of the
gouts on these divisions should be such

Ranch.
as to secure proper and uniform utili
zation of the forage. The divisions
should be protected from grazing ex
cept during the seasons determined
upon. On successive parts erf the sum
mer and fall range grazing should be
deferred until after seed maturity of the
forage plants so as to insure proper
revegetation. On winter range the for
age close to the sheds should be re
served for stormy periods only.
The old practice of bedding the goats
on the same hed ground every night
in the year prevents proper manage
ment of the range and results in over
grazing, in uneven utilization of the
forage and general depreciation of the
range. This in turn has a bad effect
on the condition of goats and the pro
duction of meat and mohair. The use
of many bed grounds widely distribut
ed over the range aids materially in
Improving the quality and quantity of
the forage, reducing the trailing and
driving of the goats, and securing bet
ter growth of gouts and mohair. The
ldeul system is to bed the gouts wher
ever night overtakes them, and it is
tlds system, called the “bedding-out”
system, that growers of goats aro
urged to adopt whatever practicable.
Tlie bedding-out system cannot bo
strictly adhered to duriug kidding, dur
ing periods of stormy winter weather,
nor just after shearing; but its use at
other times is practicable and it has
many advantages.
Range to be suitable for goats should
possess a mixture of browse, grasses,
and weeds, be free from continued
heavy rains and snows, and be well
supplied with bed grounds and water
ing places. Browse furnishes most of
tlie range feed for goats throughout
the year, so that it. should be abundant.
Grass and weeds are necessary for
docs and kids during the spring and
I summer, and are of considerable value
i at pH times to give variety to the for
J age.
i Plenty of fresh palatable feed has a
I marked beneficial effect on mohair pro
j duction, growth of the goats, and tlie
proportion of kids raised. It also re
; duces the proportion of losses. There
| fore, instead of overstocking a range
with inferior goats, the producer
i should stock it with the number of
; high-grade goats which it cun conserv
' atively carry.
The range goat should be tlie large,
well-built, early maturing Angora, pro
! ducing a large quantity of fine mohair.
The body and chest should be relative
ly broad and deep, the back wide and
straight, thi* thighs full, the ribs well
sprung, and the legs short, strong, and
set wide apart. Such Augoras make
possible a substantial revenue from
two sources—mohair aitd meat.
The does should be uniform, of good
size, have good constitutions, be good
producers of mohair, and should pro
duce sufficient milk to insure proper
growth of their kids. The bucks should
more nearly approximate the ideal
than the does. They should be large
and vigorous and should produce a
large quantity of high-quality mohair.
Only those wethers which produce a
very large quantity of tine mohair
should be retained in the herd after
they are two years old.
Most Popular Hog.
The butcher hog, weighing between
200 and 250 pounds is the most popu
lar with the packing companies be
cause it furnishes everything that is
desirable in meat, and consequently}
will command a higher prise.
