Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a preliminary report of an investigation into poisonous plants on the stock ranges of Montana. Commissioned by the state board of sheep commissioners, the author and his team were tasked with identifying the most dangerous plants for sheep in the region, studying their hab…its and distribution, and developing methods to manage the threat they posed to livestock. The author, working in collaboration with the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station, presents their findings in this volume, including a detailed catalog of poisonous plants in the state, descriptions of their appearance, habitat, and toxicity, and practical recommendations for herders and ranchers to protect their animals. The authors' research identified the most lethal species, including death camas, larkspur, water hemlock, loco weed, lupines, and ergot, with the text describing how to identify and avoid these plants, with expert tips on altering grazing patterns, safe herding techniques, and specific chemical treatments for specific toxins. In addition, the book explores the influence of weather and climate on stock poisoning and the evolution of stock poisoning management in the region. 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. print-on-demand item.
