A 500 acre pasture (recommended stocking rate 2 AUM/ac) has been grazed by 50 cows (1.0 AUE) for 8 months. How many steers (0.5 AUE) can also graze on the pasture for 6 months

333steers

Explanation:

From the given info, We need to calculate the stocking rate

Stocking rate = 500acre × 2AUM/ac

= 1000Aum

Since they grazed for 8 months, we have

= 1000/8

= 250AU

Therefore, the steers (0.5AUE) that can graze on the pasture for 6 months

1000/0.5 = 2000AUM

For 6 months would be

2000/6 = 333.33 steers

Approximately 333steers
