Gopher Impacts on Agriculture
- One Richardson Ground Squirrel (RGS) consumes up to 2 pounds of vegetation every week.
- An active Gopher colony can cut grazing capacity by over 50%.
- Pastures with 20% gopher (RGS) occupancy reduced the estimated value of livestock weight gain by over $14 per steer. In pastures with 60% gopher (RGS) occupancy, value per steer was reduced by $37.
- Gopher (RGS) infestations can reduce land value over 35%, and rental income by up to 50%.
- Land that has been devastated by a colony can take up to 20 years to recover to full grazing capacity.
- Infested rangeland can require ranches to allocate up to 40 acres per steer, whereas rangeland that is free of prairie dogs can often carry a steer on only 10 acres.
