[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1493359, member: 14585"] The 2 different acreage totals were estimated to produce equal total grass and to meet the needs for stocking rate of the 47 and 39 cows, no additional feed was mentioned for either group. Appears they did not assume equal consumption for both groups as larger cows weighed 27% more but only consumed 22% more per head. I assume they calculated a base need for both and the additional pounds aren't at a 1:1 need, but perhaps 95%? [/QUOTE]
