Carrying Capacity Estimate
Capacity Based on 20-24” Annual Rainfall, for 5 months of grazing
1,649.40 acres
1,649 acres, .65 AUM = 1,072 AUM
1,072/12 = 89.33 AU’s
12 months x .65 AUM = 18.46 AC/AU
89.33 AUs x .6 annual rainfall = 54 Cows
1,072 AUM/5 months/1.6 BWE = 214 pairs
214 pairs x $70 pp x 5months = $74,900.00 yearly grass income.

Capacity based on Full Year Use
1649 Acres at .65 AUMs = 1,072 AUMs
1,072 AUM /12 months = 89.33 AUs
89 AU x .80 = 71 head (cow/calf, retaining, replacement, bulls)
1649 Acres/89 AUs = 19 AC/AU
1649 Acres/71 Cows = 23 ac/cow

The Sellers have provided photos of herds of deer present on their property and in the immediate area, as well as numerous elk.
