[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 697733, member: 10970"] Preplant we usually put down 50 units/ac of N, due to the possibility of excess Nitrates during a dry spell before grazing. Millet becomes pure poison if there was more than 50 units applied per acre preplant when it is really dry-- so less N is better during establishment as you can never count on the weather. We do use 40# per acre where we plan on grazing cow/calf pairs seeded with a grain drill. Stocking rates for cow/calf pairs normally runs about 6 cow calf pairs / acre limit grazed. For stockers we plant 20# per acre and put the same N/ac. Stocking rates range from 4.8 to 7 AUM's. ADG for stockers: Steers - from 2.5 to 2.99 and Heifers: 2.25 to 2.5 [/QUOTE]
