Cattlemen Urged To Improve Grass Lands In Arizona
Arizona ranchers should adopt realistic range management and beef production strategies to boost profits. Clark Martin cites Santa Rita Range data showing grass production rising from 19 to 45 pounds per inch of summer rain from 1954 to 1965, with mesquite control costing about five dollars per acre enabling higher stocking rates. Al Lane urges production focus especially in a heifer’s first three years, crossbreeding to improve meat to fat, and pest control as lice infestations on the San Carlos Apache Reservation cost cattle weight. William Davis notes a potential two million dollar annual rise in grazing fees and six million dollars in statewide economic impact if policies change.
