[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1734906, member: 38220"] Around here we use AUM calculations quite a bit to figure out stocking rates, lease rates, pasture capacity, etc. In my neighborhood, native upland range requires about 2.5 acres per AUM (should equate to about 1000 lbs of dry matter, but some cows definitely eat more). So, if a pasture is 160 acres, it should have around 64 AUMs of forage on an average year, leaving a decent residual stubble. That pasture could be stocked with 64 pairs for one month or 128 pairs for half a month or 256 pairs for a week. Most of our leases are calculated by the AUM, so we pay for what we use rather than by the acre or whatever other measure is used in other places. [/QUOTE]
