Dear Bill:
This letter will confirm our discussions in December regarding livestock stocking and management for the ranch. This will also serve as the Annual Management Plan for the 1982-1983 grazing season on the Walker Basin Winter Allotment.
The following livestock numbers are permitted on the winter allotment in 1983, contingent on payment of next year's grazing fees:
| 425 | cattle from 1/1 to 5/31 |
| 425 | cattle from 11/1 to 12/31 |
| 6 | horses from 1/1 to 3/31 |
| 6 | horses from 11/1 to 12/31 |
Management on the Walker Basin Winter Allotment will be as outlined below:
| Unit | Grazing Dates | Numbers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cedar Flat | 11/1/82-12/15/82 | 360 | cows |
| Walker Basin | 12/16/82-1/15/83 | 360 | cows |
| Russel Springs | 1/16/83-2/23/83 | 360 | cows |
| Wickiup | 3/1/33-4/15/83 | 360 | cows |
| Twin Buttes | 4/16/83-5/22/83 | 360 39 26 |
cows heifers bulls |
| Lane (Lookout portion) | 5/23/83-5/31/83 | 350 39 26 |
cows heifers bulls |
|
Lane (Lookout portion) |
11/1/82-12/15/82 | 26 | bulls |
| Lane ( Knobb portion) | 12/16/82-7/15/83 | 26 | bulls |
| Lane (Bald Hill portion) | 1/16/83-1/31/83 | 26 | bulls |
| Bull Pasture | 2/1/83-3/15/83 | 26 | bulls |
| The bulls will be placed with the cow herd and heifers after 3/15/83. | |||
| (Horse Pasture fed at house) | 11/1/32-12/31/83 | 39 | heifers |
| Shipping Pasture and Lane (Hollingshead portion) | 1/1/83-4/15/83 | 39 | heifers |
This pasture management system is set up to start you into the new management plan as proposed. We hope that you can start to follow this plan this year.
As we calculated when you made application, you will be 21 head over your permitted numbers unless you remove this number of this year's calves by December 31, 1983.
We will get with you some time late next summer to discuss cattle movements to the winter range this fall. All cattle movements will be made in a timely manner and should correspond with the dates outlined above. Any change in this system of grazing needs to be first approved by the District Range Staff or the Ranger.
Again this year we want to regrind you that caution with fire is advised while carrying out your operations. You are responsible for any fire damage that may result from your actions. Should any fire restrictions be imposed, will let you know.
Tentatively planned for completion this year is the reinvasion juniper maintenance on the Walker Basin Winter Allotment. Presently this project has approved and you should go ahead with making plans on how to best achieve this needed work. The Rodon 10K is on hand here at the District office and will be available to be picked up and used this spring.
. If you you have any questions regarding this plan, call our office. Hope you enjoy the holidays and good luck with this year's grazing season.
Sincerely,
D.M. Howard
District Ranger
