The question is often asked, "How many cows can I graze on this pasture?" Since cattle are plant eaters and require a given
amount of forage to remain alive, healthy and productive, it is best to answer this question based on the inherent forage
production capability of the pasture. More specifically, two sets of information will be needed: one set dealing with certain
physical and biological attributes of the pasture, and a second set dealing with how the cattle will be managed.
