[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 202290, member: 2882"] Ok, let's go back to what I originally wrote: Best I can tell, 46 is close to 50.. And, though I may not wean 2 kids/doe, the potential exists -- hence the 'could' part.. So, I stick by what I said: I *could* end up with close to 50 animals that need tags. What am I missing? Where am I wrong? :roll: If you stock at too high a rate, anything will eat itself out of whatever it eats... What's your point? You were the one who was trying to compare cattle to goats, as though they were apples to apples.. They're not. And, as far as AUMs go, 5-6 mature goats = 1 1000lb cow, depending on where you look.. 15 does and a buck = three 1000lb cows.. I dunno about where you are, but 2 acres to cow/calf pair isn't unheard of around here.. Could be more, could be less, as every property is different.. With 25+ acres, that's a potential for 12 AU's and change.. I have more pasture than browse, so 15 does, a buck, and 9 cows would be a 75/25 split between grazers and browsers, at maximum potential.. In any case, those are the levels I'll be building toward -- not starting with.. If it turns out 10 does, a buck, and six cows is the right stocking rate, then that's where I stop. Getting back to the actual issue, those lesser numbers STILL make for a *potential* of 43 tagged animals at certain times.. 10 does + 20 kids + 1 buck + 6 cows + 6 calves = 43 tags. Again, what am I missing?? [/QUOTE]
