Hi David,

I can give you an estimate of the average stocking rate or dry sheep equivalent (DSE), however will need to know some further details.

Are the pastures improved or naturalised (native)?

Do the pastures have a history of fertiliser (phosphorus, potassium or sulphur) being applied? If so how often?

There are lots of other variables, grazing management, rainfall, soil type, etc that can also influence the stocking rate.

Cheers,

Charlie
