MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Littleleaf pussytoes is an indicator of overgrazing in Colorado.  In
ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)/grassland communities, littleleaf
pussytoes survives trampling and is very persistant but useless as
forage.  Its cover decreases slightly under light to moderate grazing
intensity, but increases under heavy grazing [15].  Littleleaf pussytoes
generally increases in response to grazing in Montana [19].  Since it is
often too short to be grazed [3], it may benefit from decreased
competition on heavily grazed sites.
