[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1340057, member: 24947"] Pretty broad term. To the old man it would mean how many cattle a place would carry with virtually no feed ,fertilizer or hay. At home right now I'm at about 1:5. I plant annual grasses, fertilize and buy in hay. I have some leased places I stock at about 1:20 and forget about em .no inputs and rarely any hay. I've got some hilltop that I really don't even count. The cows go through it but it has nothing much for em. So were do you consider the true stocking rate of a piece of ground. I wouldn't think it could honestly include dumping out feed and moving cows every day. Should it be measured by what the land can carry with virtually no inputs?? [/QUOTE]
