[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 1736229, member: 13410"] Each ton of hay harvested is equivalent to 68 animal unit days (AUD). (2000 lbs/ton /26 lbs DM/AUD X 88% DM/ton of hay) How much of those AUD you harvest is largely determined by your grazing management. With set stocking (continuous grazing) you may harvest only 30-50% of that yield. With well-managed MiG, you can harvest 100-120% of that yield potential. e.g. 4 ton/A hay yield X 68 AUD =272 AUD/A is the equivalent grazing yield (carrying capacity) With set stocking expect to harvest 80 - 140 AUD/A. With MiG expect to harvest 270 - 320 AUD/A. An 8 ton/A historic hay yield should produce about double the numbers above. [/QUOTE]
