[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1684411, member: 6291"] I'm working on a lease that has minimum and maximum head restrictions. It basically goes off the idea that one cow/calf pair plus bulls needed to operate is 1 unit. They have asked me to define how many open heifers would define that unit also. Its a friendly deal and I don't mind. I'm all for clarity on this stuff. Is their a general standard for what an open replacement heifer consumes vs a cow in production? Online it showed one #1000 cow/ calf pair as 1.0 unit. It suggested that a #600 animal would be 0.6 of a unit. I just don't see it being directly proportion to weight like that when comparing an open heifer to a producing cow. Please share you experience, knowledge, or thoughts on what would be fair for both parties. Also, if you have links to studies comparing the two that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
