A Forage Analysis from Frontier Ranch Management delivers pasture-by-pasture carrying capacity built from USDA satellite-verified production data, drought scenario modeling, and actionable stocking recommendations. Every package includes an in-person site visit to verify satellite data against actual field conditions.
Stocking Rate vs. Carrying Capacity
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of animal units a land area can sustain given available forage at a selected utilization rate. Stocking rate is the number actually placed on that land. Aligning stocking rate with carrying capacity is essential for maintaining rangeland health, forage productivity, and long-term ecological and economic sustainability.
This tool provides estimates only and is not a substitute for professional range management advice. Actual results depend on climate, soil, species composition, precipitation, and site-specific factors. We assume no responsibility for stocking decisions. Results may vary.
