How to Use This Calculator

Enter Total pasture (acres), Herd size (Animal Units), and Grazing period (days/paddock).
Set Recovery period (days), Forage yield (lbs DM/acre), and Utilization rate (%).
Review the Number of paddocks result.
Use Paddock size (acres) and Stock density (AU/acre) to inform your decision.
