Even in sagebrush steppe dominated by Artemisia tripartita, which is more resilient to disturbance including fire, cheatgrass is absent, rare, or highly localized to roadsides or to animal disturbances. Bell Mountain (Lemhi Range) sits in the background.
Agropyron albicans, Montana wheatgrass, has been long-persistent on the Burke Park ridge in east Bozeman, where its two progenitor species are common, Agropyron spicatum (bluebunch wheatgrass) and Agropyron dasystachyum (thickspike wheatgrass). Agropyron albicans (center three spikes) has the very loosely bunched rhizomatous habit, persistent florets and glume-length internodes of Agropyron dasystachyum (left two spikes) but the long curved lemma awns and relatively glabrous lemmas of Agropyron spicatum (right two spikes).
Regardless of the degree of disturbance, Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) is rare to non-existent in this region of sagebrush steppe.
Miss Sushi munching on the wheatgrass Debbie brought. Despite her age and sickness, she munches fast! She was totally engrossed in it too, that towards the end of the clip, she lost her balance.
Sushi's round of antibiotics (not completed yet, three more days to go) appears to have stopped her uterine bleeding. Yay, but to be sure, we still are going to the vet on the 29th with Mint Tea. She'll probably resume her antifungals if she can be taken off the antibiotics. She's just on antihistamines and antibiotics now.
Though her bleeding has stopped, her skin condition appears to have deteriorated a little. You can't see it in the video though, it's her underside that seems a little more red?
(Taken with the sister's new lumix lx3. It was just half a day old. Ack, I think the settings were a little wonky there.)
The mountain big sagebrush steppe in this area can sometimes be very short statured and expansive (similar to wyoming big sagebrush steppe). Although Bromus tectorum can be abundant along the road, this annual exotic rarely if ever found out in the sagebrush steppe of this area. This site is just to the east of Dickey and highway 89, south of Challis Idaho.
See that?? They are growing taller and increasing in number, so much so that I have already lost count on how many of them now!
They are growing quickly, so is my hair. I need a haircut soon.
In Montana, the expected roadside grasses are usually exotics such as smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum). Somehow, this roadside section between Wilsall and Ringling became dominated by the native thickspike wheatgrass. The Big Belt Mountains sit in the background.

The lemmas awns and awn-like glumes render a feathery or silken appearance to the flowering head. This site lies at the base of Peets Hill, Burke Park, Bozeman, Montana. Agropyron repens, Berteroa incana, Polygonum aviculare, and Poa pratensis are some of the other colonizing species in this scene.
Intermediate wheatgrass can form diffuse rhizomatous stands or the stems can be bunched with not many rhizomes. This supposedly distinguished Agropyron intermedium from Agropyron elongatum, but the covariation of such growth habit and other diagnostic traits is not evident. The ends of the spectrum of this growth habit are continuous. This site lies along the Highland Glen trail system near East Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
Intermediate wheatgrass does not alway produced distinctly glaucous herbage, as in this population with mostly greenish stems and leaves.
The broad lax leaves combined with the wheatgrass inflorescence spike is diagnostic of quackgrass. This site lies in the extensive stand of introduced rhizomatous grasses at the base of Peets Hill, Bozeman, Montana.
Agropyron intermedium var. trichophorum is distinguished by having conspicuously hairy lemmas. The terminal two-sided spike of intermediate wheatgrass is rigid due to the coarseness of the glumes, lemmas, and internodes. The open panicles in this view belong to smooth brome (Bromus inermis). This site lies along the ridgeline at the north end of Burke Park, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
This interpretive sign commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1934 Taylor Grazing Act sits in disrepair in the middle of a small patch of sagebrush steppe where the predominant grass is crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum). The adjacent vegetation to this monument area has burned and is dominated by Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus (green rabbitbrush) and Taeniatherum caput-medusa (medusahead wildrye).
Native, cool-season, perennial, loosely tufted, short-lived grass to 100 cm tall. Leaves typically have a half twist and the flag leaf sticks out at a right angle. Leaf sheaths are hairy and auricles are present. Flowerheads are spikes to 25 cm long. Spikelets are 6-12-flowered and not or little overlapping; their sides are against the stem. Lemmas have an awn which is 9-47 mm long and strongly curved when mature. Calluses are distinctly hairy. Flowers from late winter to late summer. A minor component in pastures, it grows on most soil types and is drought and frost tolerant. Native biodiversity. A variable species; plants on good soils produce high quality, palatable green feed in the cooler months, but plants on shallower soils tend to have harsher leaves and produce little feed. Generally only a short lived plant, but can recruit well from seed. Responds positively to fertiliser. Often preferentially grazed, but is avoided after it runs to head. Rotationally graze or provide strategic rests in late spring to aid persistence.

Intermediate wheatgrass can form diffuse rhizomatous stands or the stems can be bunched with not many rhizomes. This supposedly distinguished Agropyron intermedium from Agropyron elongatum, but the covariation of such growth habit and other diagnostic traits is not evident. The ends of the spectrum of this growth habit are continuous. This site lies along the Highland Glen trail system near East Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
The long internodes (typically at or over 2 cm long) are distinctive to Agropyron spicatum and the awnless lemmas to subspecies inermis. The large spikelets suggest a cultivar (Whitmar) that is used in post-fire revegetation projects.
Bromus tectorum does not colonize a postfire sagebrush steppe with infrequent pre-fire disturbance. The individual B. tectorum at center (its purplish inflorescences droop to the left and right) is typical in this area in being in the minority (in this photo Agropyron dasystachyum is the abundant grass). Alyssum desertorum is the common annual mustard in this view.
The two pair of awn-like glumes per node combined with the single floret per spikelet and annual habit render this grass very distinctive among the wheatgrasses.

To put more green in your diet, you can also simply mix #organic Pines Wheat Grass with organic chocolate syrup and milk (cow, goat, flax, coconut, cashew, almond or soy) or produce a beautiful smoothie like this one.
CAUTION: if you make chocolate greens ALWAYS buy your green food separately so you can see the color. Otherwise, if you buy your green powder already mixed with chocolate powder you won't know if the chocolate was used to disguise poor quality greens with a bad color.
With Pines' #superfoods, you are guaranteed great color, nutrient density and freshness because for 40 years, we have been growing and harvesting wheat grass correctly outdoors, through often-freezing winter temperatures and harvesting at the special once-a-year jointing stage in the early spring when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall.
We also provide the freshest possible product because we use amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. Without oxygen, the devitalization that occurs from oxidation of #wheatgrass in plastic containers or paper packets does not occur. #PinesWheatGrass is also available in convenient and economical tablets. All Pines' #GreenSuperfood provides the additional dark green leafy vegetable nutrition that research shows is missing from most diets.

The steppe in this scene is dominated by bluebunch wheatgrass, prairie junegrass, and Idaho fescue, the palouse prairie grasses. This is a common steppe community in western and southern Montana.
Regardless of the degree of disturbance, Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) is rare to non-existent in this region of sagebrush steppe. This site lies on the northeast side of the Lost River Range, north of Borah Peak.
Remnant sagebrush amid cropped and converted agricultural lands. Where sagebrush occurs, the intervening vegetation is mostly a mix of Achillea millefolium (yarrow), Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass), Agropyron dasystachyum (thickspike wheatgrass), Bromus japonicus (Japanese brome), and Chrysothamnus nauseosus (rubber rabbitbrush).
Introduced, warm-season, perennial, tussock-forming grass to 130 cm tall. Flowerheads are spikes to 30 cm long and which break up at maturity. Flowers in summer. A native of Europe and western Asia, it is found scattered in areas of low to moderate salinity; sometimes sown, but also increasingly naturalised. More common in southern areas. Has low to moderate waterlogging tolerance, but is not tolerant of waterlogging over spring and into summer. Used to rehabilitate saline sites, but is becoming an increasingly widespread weed especially in wetlands and along streams. Very productive when subsoil moisture is available or there is good summer rainfall. Provides high quality feed when vegetative and leafy, but is of poor quality when rank and flowering. Good grazing management is critical to maintain feed quality and palatability; it responds to hard grazing and added nitrogen.
Agropyron intermedium, which includes the bluegreen grass in this photo, is common along roads in Grand Teton National Park and is absent from adjacent high-native-plant-cover sagebrush steppe. The exotic Rumex acetosella (common sheep sorrel), with the reddish inflorescences, is common along roads in this area but not in high-native-cover sagebrush steppe.

Bluebunch wheatgrass is typically the tallest and most loosely bunched of the abundant bunchgrasses in steppe vegetation of Montana (e.g., compared to prairie junegrass and Idaho fescue). The leaf blades arise from the stem and not from ground level, in contrast to such grasses as Idaho fescue and prairie junegrass.

Left to right, Stipa comata var. comata (needle and thread), Agropyron spicatum (bluebunch wheatgrass), Andropogon scoparius (little bluestem), Agropyron dasystachyum (thickspike wheatgrass), Koeleria macrantha (prairie junegrass), and Calamovilfa longifolia (prairie sandreed). These grasses co-dominate the open arid grasslands in the open understory of the Chalk Buttes, rangeland in good condition in terms of high native plant diversity and low exotic plant cover.
Spikes of Agropyron repens protrude through the inflorescences of Hordeum jubatum. The lemmas awns and awn-like glumes render a feathery or silken appearance to the flowering head. This site lies at the base of Peets Hill, Burke Park, Bozeman, Montana.
