[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 930814, member: 9"] Our system computes how much hay, salt, mineral, electricity well pump uses that is put out each month. We divided that dollar amount by the number of 1,000 A.U.'s we have. Includes all types and sizes of animals. We get a monthly and yearly average "cost" per A.U. About the only way one could actually measure how much an animal eats would be to put it on a drylot condition and compute costs for that 1 animal. Not very practical, however. Then, there is the "usage" value factor of how much grass an animal eats. Very difficult to measure and compute cost/value of this. [/QUOTE]
