Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
Photograph of part of the buffalo herd in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Lawton, Oklahoma. This is the second largest herd of buffalo on the continent.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
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.
