E.  aSheep behavior under unhereded conditions on mountain summer ranges.h[electronic resource]  c1971  aAbstract: Purebred Rambouillet, Targhee and Columbia sheep were observed on mountain summer ranges in southwestern Utah. Under unherded conditions Rambouillet sheep travelled greater distances and spent more time resting, while Columbias travelled the least distances, rested least and grazed longer than the other breeds. All breeds travelled farther in the morning than in the afternoon but grazed longer in the afternoon. There was a tendency for the sheep to water and take salt in the mornings rather than in the afternoons. Overgrazing on established bedgrounds was caused by animals grazing these areas in the evening prior to bedding down. Fencing along the crests of the ridges and more strategic salt placement appear to be the most useful means of improving distribution.  aAnimal behavior  aSheep  aComportamento Animal  aOvino  aPastagem  tJournal of Range Managementgv. 24, n. 2, p. 105-109, 1971.
