R.  aCattle grazing and behavior on a forested range.h[electronic resource]  c1982  aEnvironmental and topographic parameters on a mountainous forested range were analyzed to establish causes of cattle behav- ioral responses. Distinct home range groups of cattle were identi- fied through examination of quality and patterns of forage use, cattle distribution, herd social structure, and cattle activities. The home range of one group encompassed only upland areas. Water and vegetation type were important parameters in determining area and degree of use. Vertical distance above water was the most important factor in determining vegetation utilization on moder- ately steep slopes. Time after sunrise and relative humidity factors were key factors in determining kind and timing of cattle activity.  aForest1 aKRUEGER, W.
