(Lesson 5. Grazier\u2019s Arithmetic continued)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. True or False: Determining proper stocking rates will have little effect on profitability for a grazing operation. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. If your stocking rate is too low you will ____________________ and if your stocking rate is too high, it will result in ____________________. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. waste forage; higher gains<\/li>\n
  2. increase utilization; higher gains<\/li>\n
  3. waste forage; lower animal intake and output<\/li>\n
  4. increase utilization; lower gains<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. Name three factors used to determine carrying capacity. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4. True or False: Annual forage production is the total amount of forage produced per acre that is harvested mechanically. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. True or False: Seasonal utilization rate is the percentage of the annual forage production harvested by grazing livestock. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    6. True or False: Average daily intake should be set at the level that will be required to yield the desired animal performance level. (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    7. Between the Carrying Capacity and Stock Density equations, which one uses a quantity of forage dry matter actually allotted to the animals for a grazing period? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    8. Which of the following is most representative of the length of a grazing season in Maine? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 5 days<\/li>\n
    2. 60 days<\/li>\n
    3. 165 days<\/li>\n
    4. 365 days<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      9. According to Figure 1, what would your approximate seasonal utilization rate be if your grazing period length were 10 days? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. 30%<\/li>\n
      2. 43%<\/li>\n
      3. 55%<\/li>\n
      4. 65%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        10. Again, according to Figure 1, what would your approximate grazing period utilization rate be if your grazing period length were 10 days? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. 30%<\/li>\n
        2. 43%<\/li>\n
        3. 55%<\/li>\n
        4. 65%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          11. A producer is grazing steer weighing 750 lb\/hd with a daily rate of gain goal at 2.0 lb\/hd. His\/her timothy\/legume pasture is 8-12 inches tall with 20% bare ground after the last grazing. He\/she wishes to graze the paddock for 4 days. The producer figures his\/her utilization rate is around 50% and intake is approximately 3.5% of body weight. Using the dry matter table and the stock density formula, what should the stocking density be? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. 10,700 lb\/ac<\/li>\n
          2. 6,250 lb\/ac<\/li>\n
          3. 3,000 lb\/ac<\/li>\n
          4. 12,500 lb\/ac<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            12. Using the information from problem 11, how many head could the producer stock\/acre\/4 day grazing period? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. 7<\/li>\n
            2. 8<\/li>\n
            3. 11<\/li>\n
            4. 14<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

              13. Again, using the information from problem 11, how big would the producer need to make the paddock if he\/she is grazing 40 steers? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. .5 acre<\/li>\n
              2. 1 acre<\/li>\n
              3. 2.5 acres<\/li>\n
              4. 4.8 acres<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                14. According to the simple approach, if a producer was grazing 1000 lb beef cows in thick pasture that is 12 inches tall and wishes to graze the forage down to 4 inches, how many acres\/day does the producer need to graze 80 cows? (Review the lesson material<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. .33 acre\/day<\/li>\n
                2. .91 acre\/day<\/li>\n
                3. 1.4 acres\/day<\/li>\n
                4. 1.8 acres\/day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
