- W2019998723 abstract "Matching cattle stocking rate with the availability of green forage is a way of reducing productioncosts and maintaining sustainability of a cow-calf operation. The objective of this study was to estimate themaximum cow-calf stocking rate that does not diminish animal weights under normal and low rainfall conditionson a native mixed-grass prairie in southeast Wyoming, U.S.A. using the USDA-ARS GPFARM Range-Livestock model. Forage production and Hereford cow-calf weights were simulated over a range of stockingrates [6.1, 5.0, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0 ha (cow-calf pair)-1] for 2 rainfall scenarios (dry = 255 mm yr -1 and normal= 395 mm yr -1). Calving was simulated in March and weaning at 180 days old. Cattle were stocked on 88 haof native northern mixed-grass prairie (warm season grasses, cool season grasses, and forbs) from June toSeptember. Daily allowable forage depletion was set at 50% of available forage. Simulated cow/calf weights(at a sale date of 30 September) and total forage intake for the 6 stocking rates were compared to estimate themaximum stocking rate for each rainfall scenario. The GPFARM simulations showed that animal weights andforage intake did not diminish even at a very high stocking rate of 2.0 ha (cow-calf pair)-1 pair under normalrainfall conditions. However, they diminished under extremely dry conditions at stocking rates more intensivethan 4.0 ha (cow-calf pair)-1. The stocking rate should not be more than 4.0 ha (cow-calf pair)-1 at this mixedgrassprairie site when a dry year is expected (e.g. precipitation = 255 mm yr –1; 3% probability). The modelgave reasonable responses of cattle weight gain to variable stocking. It can potentially be used to estimateappropriate stocking rates to maintain the sustainability of a cow-calf operation on northern mixed-grass prairie.However, further verifications of model results with experimental data are needed." @default.
