Apply to graze on a PGR

On April 1, 1999, the responsibility for the care, handling and management of livestock and the forage resources was transferred to grazing reserve associations. Use of the grazing reserves by the associations is authorized by grazing management agreements.

Farmers and ranchers who wish to apply for grazing allotments on grazing reserves must apply to the appropriate grazing reserve office. The application deadlines are regionally dependent and range from the beginning of December to the end of January. Contact the agrologist at your local field office for more information and an application form.

Applications can be obtained from, and are submitted to the appropriate PGR office.
