Calves Grazing on Native Range
Photograph of freshly weaned calves grazing on native range of blue grama and side oats grama. Calves weighed 550 to 600 pounds at weaning time. Mr. Kouns has seeded over 100 acres of native grass on this 1/2 section. Seed harvested from sweet clover and native grass have more than paid for the land. Some gullies on this ranch were so bad that they could not be crossed with a truck, but now it is possible to drive over any part of the ranch in an automobile. This condition has been changed by establishing and maintaining a good grass cover which controlled the erosion and kept the top soil in the gullies. All of this ranch is under a conservation plan.
