Canada's Rangeland Resource—A Look Ahead

Abstract

Canada's cattle population is expected to increase from its present 13.7 million head to about 16.5 million head by 1980. About 5.3 million acres of additional pasture will be required to feed the extra cattle and most of it will come from land presently in grain. Range managers will be more concerned than formerly with cultivated pastures and hayland and the integration of these with native range.
