Using 26 Au’s for calculation. These were the finishing beef cattle we had and we took them to the annual rye patch we had to help them improve condition. This was a focus of of animal performance more then optimum ecological impact. We were still getting decent density, but they were basically skimming the tops of plants and leaving a lot of forage behind. We will come behind this winter and have plenty left to graze in this location.
