Pasture-level Growing Season Cattle Use and Selection

The original burn data for the property posed a challenge due to burn polygon inconsistencies from year to year. Thus, we began by digitizing roads, ditches, and firebreaks using the high-resolution aerial imagery provided by Mukti. The resulting polygon layer provided a standard unit map to which we could spatially join burn histories. Some pastures may seem overly subdivided, but this is to accommodate the fact that burn polygons morphed from year to year. It’s better to have more polygons than fewer because it is much easier to aggregate polygons than to subdivide them.

Figure 1. An interactive property map with the burn unit polygons that we digitized. The burn units are colored by pasture, and hovering the mouse over a given unit will provide you with the unit identifier. Unit identifiers use the “Pasture-Subunit” convention, so for example, “FG1-3” refers to sub-unit 3 of Front Gate pasture. Gray units fall outside of the provided pastures of interest.

With the standardized burn unit polygons, we then spatially joined the burn dates to these polygons and calculated time-since-fire for each polygon for each month of the study period. We categorized time-since-fire into 4 categories that referred to as “Rough” (see below).

Throughout this document, “Rough” refers to time-since-fire categories defined as follows:

Figure 2. An interactive map of all burn units colored by “Rough” category for June 2024. As stated above, the category “3+” includes units that burned more than 3 years ago, as well as units for which we had no record of burning since 2022.

This document includes summary statistics of cattle use and selection at two spatial scales. For each pasture, we provide rough-level use and selection figures. Rough-level statistics were achieved by aggregating the burn units within each pasture by “Rough” category, and then spatially joining the cattle locations to these aggregated polygons. This provides a rough-level understanding of how cattle are selecting for or against areas with different time-since-fire categories. However, at this scale, we lose unit-specific information, so hypothetically, rough-level selection may overstate the selection for 2-year rough in a pasture if a single sub-unit is strongly selected for but all other sub-units in with 2-year rough are avoided. Therefore, the second set of figures and maps are at the unit-level, which is more fine-scale than the rough-level. The burn unit level figures and maps were created by spatially joining the cattle locations to the burn unit polygon layer mentioned above (without aggregating them by “Rough” category).

Temporally, we provide year-, month-, and time-of-day-specific breakdowns of cattle selection. For the time-of-day (henceforth, tod) breakdowns, we categorized cattle locations into morning, day, evening, and night based on the time of day and sun position at the time of each location. The tod-specific breakdowns are provided for both rough-level and unit-level analyses and are defined more specifically as:

We designated these time intervals with summer temperatures in mind. However, we can easily adjust those intervals and recreate the report if there is reason to do so.

Interactive time-specific maps of RS pasture with the burn units aggregated by “Rough” category for July 2025, with the addition of cattle selection ratios for each “Rough” category. The top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right maps display morning, day, evening, and night use and selection. The aggregated burn units are colored by selection ratio, which is calculated as the percentage of use (% of all cattle locations in a given Rough category) divided by the availability (% area) for each “Rough” category. Hovering the mouse over a given unit will provide you with the “Rough” category, availability percentage, use percentage, and selection ratio for that unit.
