 Today, we're here at Ascetic corrals belonging to a larger and average size Wyoming ranch. Now anybody can recognize and describe the characteristics of Ascetic corrals. Bear with me though and look at it from the viewpoint of a range manager from down here. A corral is subjected to intense grazing and trampling pressure. Perennial grasses which protect us all from erosion can't survive. They go away. Surviving plants are either so tough, unpalibre poisonous that livestock won't eat them. Sun covers gone, exposing the topsoil to sun, wind and water. Degradation by those elements often lost. The startling thing is that while we begin on a ranch, with Ascetic corrals that covers one or two acres and serving maybe 500 cows, now we're on a five acre pasture that's serving two horses. It's an ecological extravagance. The sound land management solution. Build a corral to pin the stock the majority of the time. The rest of the acreage retains the aesthetic properties which entice the landowner to be there in the first place. From the University of Wyoming Cooperative Extended Service, I'm Eric Peterson.
