Grazing Stocking rate  Definition: Number of animals units per acre  Animal unit = 1000 lbs liveweight

Gain per unit area Gain per animal Overgrazing Optimum Range Undergrazing Stocking Rate

Stocking rate affects bull performance Stocking rate (head/acre) ADG (lb/day)Gain/acre (lb/acre)

Grazing Stocking rate SR

Summary Select the right forage specie, fertilization, and weed control program The purpose of grazing management is to supply forage to livestock in adequate quantity and quality Stocking rate is the most important decision on grazing management
