Photograph of a Galleta plant. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Galleta (Hilaria Jamesii) – Sometimes and unfortunately referred to in older literature as black grama, is an erect perennial. It grows on mesas, plains, and deserts from Wyoming and Nevada to California, Western Texas, and South in Mexico, but is probably most common in New Mexico and Arizona. The abundance of Galleta and its capacity for heavy forage production make it a very important species on many southwestern ranges. It is of highest palatability (up to good or very good) during the summer rainy growing season, and has the reputation among stockmen of being nutritious for all classes of livestock. The tough, woody rootstocks, sometimes as much as 6 feet long, are it surest means of reproduction, fortify it against trampling and heavy grazing, and increase its effectiveness as a soil binder."

Photograph of Buffalo grass (Bouteloua dactyloides). A perennial, stoloniferous*, generally dioecious‡, highly palatable, drought-resistant pasture grass. Used for grazing, lawns, erosion control, outlet channels and pasture outlets. Widely adapted to soils where climatically adapted. Best on clay and loam types. Will survive on shallow soils too droughty for Bermuda grass. It is best adapted to regions having between 15 and 30 inches of rainfall. Other pasture plants may it out in high rainfall belt. Plant when harvested or during the fall and winter to February. Good moisture and low temperature conditions are necessary for the best germination. Although it will survive overgrazing during most seasons, best results are obtained by deferred or rotated grazing of this grass. OK-79, 444. * Stoloniferous = i.e., producing shoots, ‡ Dioecious = i.e., male and female reproductive organs on separate plants of the same species rather than different parts of the same plant.
