Printed on the Giori presses and issued in panes of 50.
This stamp emphasizes the importance of grassland and livestock to the nation's agriculture and dramatizes the development of range conservation from the pioneer days of the open range to today's scientific range management techniques.
The Range Conservation stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed on the Giori presses, and issued in panes of 50.
The left portion of the design features a reproduction of "The Trail Boss," a line drawing by the famous Western artist, Charles M. Russell, printed in black. The right portion portrays a contemporary range scene in the same western setting, printed in yellow and blue.
The 4-cent Range Conservation stamp was first placed on sale on February 2, 1961, at Salt Lake City, Utah, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Society of Range Management.
