Title	Judging rangeland for livestock and wildlife values : the National Rangeland Judging Contest.
Authors	Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service.
Publisher	Oklahoma State University, State 4-H Office
Publication Date	2009-03
Publication type	Manual
Subject	Rangelands--Multiple use--Oklahoma. Beef cattle--Habitat--Oklahoma. Northern bobwhite--Oklahoma. National Rangeland Judging Contest.
Purpose	Rangeland is a kind of land, not a land use, on which the native vegetation is predominately herbaceous plants and shrubs. Rangeland is the most extensive kind of land in the world, comprising more than 47% of the earth’s land surface. In the contiguous 48 states, rangeland makes up 45% of the land surface. Although some of Oklahoma’s rangelands have been destroyed by farming or conversion to introduced plants, 40% of the state (over 17 million acres) remains in native rangeland, making it the most extensive kind of land in the state.; Oklahoma has the distinction of having hosted the National Rangeland Judging Contest annually since 1955. Thousands of youth and young adults qualify for the National Contest by participating in local, regional, and state contests throughout the country. Traditionally the contest has only considered managing cattle on rangeland and introduced pasture. However, this manual, Judging Rangeland for Livestock and Wildlife Values, initiates a more realistic, contemporary, and scientifically based view of rangeland ecosystems.
