Print on Demand. This book considers a revolutionary approach to ranching: a pasturage system where sheep are left unmanaged to graze freely in predator-proof pastures. This method offers significant advantages over traditional herding practices. Pasturing sheep in enclosed areas offers greater protection against predators, minimizing loss. The author observed a 99-day loss of only 0.4% among pastured sheep, compared to losses of 1-3% for herded sheep. Moreover, the pasturage system promotes a healthier and more productive flock. Sheep are less stressed and more evenly conditioned, resulting in higher quality wool and increased lamb weight. This book provides valuable insights into the behavior of sheep in a free-range environment, emphasizing the importance of forage quality and management practices. The author argues that the pasturage system can significantly increase the carrying capacity of a range, allowing for a greater number of sheep to graze on the same acreage. The author's research suggests the pasturage system could revolutionize sheep ranching, offering increased profitability, reduced labor costs, and improved animal welfare. This book is a comprehensive resource for ranchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable grazing practices. Its findings have the potential to reshape the future of ranching and contribute to a more ethical and environmentally conscious approach to animal husbandry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

The cost of keeping a coyote-proof fence in proper repair will depend upon the thoroughness of construction and the locality in which it is built. Unless the construction work is well done in every detail there will be a constant need for repair of loose and broken wires and holes under the fence. On the other hand, a fence con structed with proper care on an untimbered area will require little attention, and the cost of maintenance during the first few years Will be almost negligible. In a heavily timbered area the damage done will vary with the intensity of snow and wind storms. Great loads of wet snow may throw a few trees; accompanied by heavy wind they may throw a good many. Wind alone will do little damage except during the rainy season, when the ground is satu rated to a considerable depth and shallow-rooted trees overturn easily.
In 1908 thirty-eight trees fell across the wires along the 5 miles of the coyote-proof pasture fence that runs through a heavy lodgepole and yellow pine forest. They were removed and the fence was repaired at a cost of $10. An additional $10 was expended in repairing holes made by the spring run-off and by badgers. During 1909 only ten trees fell across the fence. They were removed and the fence repaired by one man in one and one - half days, at a cost of Badgers had dug under the wire during the fall and early spring in fifteen places. This damage was rep aired by driving stakes into the holes and then filling in with dirt. Stakes placed close together will discourage coyotes from attempting to scratch out the loose dirt and crawl through. The entire work of removing trees and filling holes required only two days' labor for one man, at a cost of 355.
When the experiment was closed, on October 1, 1909, the fence was in excellent condition.
