Grazing on Caribou Forest in 1916 245000 Sheep and 15000 Cattle
The Caribou National Forest will host 245000 sheep and 15000 cattle and horses owned by 425 permittees this grazing season. Cattle numbers rose 100 percent over three years, while sheep declined by about 20000 head due to spring and fall range shortages. Grazing runs April 20 to October 20 for cattle and horses, and July 1 to September 15 for sheep. Revenue from grazing totals about 79000 annually, with 35 percent allocated to states for schools and bonds. The forest service plans topographic maps and range inventories to enable fairer distribution and increased carrying capacity. Watering troughs and piping from springs will be built to improve range use, benefiting up to 500 head and reducing stream impact on Montpelier’s municipal supply. Charles M. H. Shattuck leads related academic work at Moscow, noted for shade-tree projects for residents.
