Seasonal Beef Production from Russian Wildrye-Alfalfa Pastures
Lodge, R. W.
Russian wildrye (Elymus junceus Fisch.)-Rambler alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) pastures were grazed for 28 days by yearling steers from various starting dates of use, early May, mid-May, early June and for a longer period, June to September, to determine the influence on pasture production and beef cattle performance. Steer gain per acre from Russian wildrye-alfalfa pasture was greatest under early June grazing use. Daily gain per head was greatest when the pasture was grazed from early June. Forage production was highest from the early June and early June-summer use period pastures. The trial indicates that the most productive season of use of Russian wildrye-alfalfa pastures in southwest Saskatchewan is from early June. Such use will result in maximum production in terms of beef production either per acre or individual animal daily weight gain and in maintenance of the Russian wildrye-alfalfa stand.

Response of Four Perennial Southwestern Grasses to Shade
Tiedemann, A. R.; Klemmedson, J. O.; Ogden, P. R.
A nursery plot study was conducted to determine if the observed relative abundance of Arizona cottontop, bush muhly, and plains bristlegrass under mesquite trees on native range was related to the ability of these grasses to adapt to shade. Plants of these species plus black grama which grows in open areas were subjected to shading only and shading after defoliation treatments using five levels of shade from 0 to 80%. Evaluation of morphological, physiological, and yield responses showed that all plants made their best growth in full sunlight; but Arizona cottontop, bush muhly, and plains bristlegrass displayed greater ability than black grama to adapt to shade.
