[QUOTE="regolith, post: 754869, member: 9267"] I'm not running a cow/calf operation and would have to admit I don't know exactly. In the UK it used to be one plus followers (1 cow, calf and yearling) for every acre and I would expect North Island, NZ to be able to carry slightly higher numbers due to the longer growing season. Dairy farms are run at about 2.5 - 3.5 cows/ha on all grass systems, but production per cow is much lower than in the US. We defer grass for winter, and reduce feed demand by destocking in autumn and by timing lactation to the grass growth curve. [/QUOTE]
