N2  - Rangelandscan renew itself or go backwards depending on the ecological factors.Rangelands exhibit positive, negative or neutral depending on using properties.The objective of this study was to determine rangeland health and ecologicalsite distribution of grazed rangeland with cattle, sheep and mixed stocking inthe Kargapazari Mountain Erzurum province. In the investigated rangelands,vegetation, soil and hydrology properties differed significantly. As a resultof this study, it is possible to state that uncontrolled grazing with sheepgives more damage to vegetation and related resources than uncontrolled grazingwith cattle in highland steppe rangelands where short grasses are dominated.But forbs of sheep taken under pressure should not be ignored. In conclusion,for sustainable use of steppe rangeland, providing suitable grazing season andgrazing capacity, sheep and cattle herds can graze as mixture.
