An Improved Rangemeter for Sheep1

Eric Cresswell2 and Lorin E. Harris3

Agricultural Experiment Station, Utah State University, Logan

Abstract

An improved rangemeter for sheep was developed. It consists of a harness, two metal shafts, a wheel, and automatic mileage recorder.

Four ewes of each of three breeds, Rambouillet, Columbia, and Hampshire were fitted with rangemeters. It was found that Rambouillet ewes travel about 25% farther than Hampshire ewes, and Columbia ewes appear to travel slightly farther than Hampshire ewes in the same size pasture.
