Livestock Foraging Models: Rangeland Management on Santa Ana Pueblo
Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs
Authors: Raul Campos-Marquetti

Using the ArcMap and ERDAS software a Grazing Production Model was created. Using these results, the total number of Cow/Calf units that can be grazed on a pasture was determined. The generated Geodatabase will be used by the pueblo to plan and implement livestock management decisions, maintain the integrity and health of the Pueblo�s rangeland pastures, and to avoid overgrazing practices and in the management of forage and water sources made available for co-existing indigenous wildlife.
