GYe C, /*y THE CACHE GRAZING RESOURCES Note: The third of a series of Know Your Forest News Stories contributed to the Journal by local Forest Officers. Among the many valuable resources embraced by the Cache National Forest the forage cover is perhaps the most valuable asset which a large number of the people of Cache Valley are each year able to use. The timber on the Cache Forest is valuable of course; its value is increasing daily. The water supoly is indispensable; it must be preserved. The forage resources, however, are today the basis of a great going industry, the range livestock industry and accordingly the attention which is devoted to this phase of forest management on the Cache Forest surmounts any other interest except the general policy of conservation through protection. The livestock industry is the third largest in Utah. ?7fo of the feed for the beef cattle, horses and sheep comes from ranges similar to the range within the Cache For st. Of the 500,000 beef cattle and horses raised in Utah 29% use summer range on National Forests. Of the 2,300,000 sheep, Z2% use forest range. The value of the animals which use our National Forests* is over $10,000,000. GRAZING VALUES HIGH ON THE CACHE Among the Utah National Forests the Cache ranks as one of the highest in point of value for grazing. Over 100,000 sheep and 24,000 cattle and horses, representing values on the hoof of well over two million dollars, each year s^end many months on the high cojI slopes of the mountains east of Cache Valley and. on the smaller divisions of the forest to the south, west and north of the main
