Does that take rotational grazing into effect?
I don't suppose so, since so many properties seem to have the same steers on them year after year (well, not the exact same animals of course).
old fart, "so how many head of cattle you reckon this'll keep," they
have to be able to give you some answer.
calculated are well-defined by the USDA. It assumes that everybody's
land is snowbound for six months, so that properties from radically
different climates can be compared on the same scale.
without snow, there's actually a "winter carrying capacity". I
imagine it's about a third of fourth of the summer carrying capacity,
so I hope to keep a ram and three ewes over the winter, also with no
feed.
don't intend to push it to the limit, because they start gnawing tree
bark. At this point I keep animals only seasonally, since I'm a snowbird, but within 5 years we'll both be able to move here full
time. Just in time, eh? I hope so.
