Well, Bill, you are obviously off your meds again.  The desperation seeps in 
and you start ranting about either the colleges in California or dropping 
comments such as the one below about Jews to stop the conversation.

You weren't correct about how the USDA figures DM/AU/AC and now you start 
the frantic "screaming" and "flaming."

BTW, the first time I heard them called animal units was in a class at UC 
Davis in 1967.  *Real* ranchers don't use the term au IRL, they talk how 
many head they can run on x pasture at y time of year.

Oh yeah, I can just see it now, Grampa sat down at his computer and said 
"Why hot damn, I'll bet that field over yonder can handle 25 animal units 
this spring because it has medium DM but I'll have to rotate them to high DM 
pasture for the second rotation because using my USDA chart this pasture is 
only good for six weeks of sustained grazing.

Me thinks perchance you were out in the sun too long in Southern California! 
Enjoy talking to yourself, Bill.
