Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grazing Spring-Fall Sheep Ranges of Southern Idaho Most of the 18 to 20 million acres of spring-fall range in southern Idaho are covered by the sagebrush-grass vegetation type. The spring-fall ranges of this type lie largely on the Snake River Plains, in a roughly crescent-shaped belt along the Snake River from the Wyoming to the Oregon State lines. Some of them lie also in adjacent tributary valleys. They are generally located between the winter feed-lot areas in the irrigated section and the mountainous range lands used for summer grazing. Sheep graze these ranges for several weeks in the spring during and following lambing. At that time, the ewes need palatable, highly digestible, nutritious young grasses and weeds to keep up-their flow of milk. Lambs too, require tender and succulent forage. Then in the fa'll sheep again use many of these ranges during and after breeding. Consequently, forage production on these spring-fall ranges directly influences the percentage lamb crop, the size of lambs and condition of ewes sent to summer range, and the wool production. Plant growth 011 the Spring-fall ranges begins early (march 1 to 15 on the lower Snake River Plains to April 10 on the upper Plains). The ranges are generally ready for grazing within 2 or 8 weeks after growth starts. They are grazed for 4 to 8 weeks until the grasses and weeds begin to dry. As the forage dries it loses much of its nutritive value. Sheep are then moved to mountainous summer ranges where they can obtain succulent forage. The drying forage 011 well-managed Spring-fall ranges cures rather well in the usual absence of summer rains, and, together with any new green growth made as a result of fall rains, provides a fairly satisfactory ration for sheep during the fall before they go to the winter feed lot. The characteristics that make well - managed Spring-fall ranges de sirable for sheep grazing are: (1) Abundant production of palatable and nutritious forage for ewes and lambs from early Spring until sum mer ranges are ready for grazing, (9) availability of satisfactory forage for ewes in fall, (3) reliable forage production in years of favorable and unfavorable weather alike, and (4) relatively open stands of sagebrush that permit easy sheep movement over the range.
