Adaptive Grazing 101: How to Calculate Available Dry Matter

In Part 20 of Pasture Project’s video series on adaptive grazing, we focus on a straightforward method to calculate dry matter. Dry matter can be estimated in pasture using only grazing stick. Thanks to Dr. Allen Williams (Pasture Project & Grass Fed Insights, LLC) and Ted Krauskopf (Hickory Flat Cattle Company) for their contributions to this video.

The averages of cows is 900lbs
And we have 400 milking cows
And the paddock size 2.89 ha
How to calculate this how much will each cow eat?

Lol same reason why I'm here

[@solarpoweredfarm8813]

Milking cow's not only need quantity but quality has to be added to the equation. Just convert pounds to kgs. Times by 3.5 percent is what the need

I'm not so great at math, so maybe I'm not getting something here. Your chart says that the stand density is per 4" in height. I don't understand why you would multiply 200lbs by 14". Shouldn't you multiply 200 by 14/4 or 3.5?

i caught that to, i'm pretty sure he just messed up
