The share of the dry matter you grow that actually passes through an animal — the rest is trampled, fouled or decays standing.
Set-stocked systems use only 40–50% of the pasture grown; well-managed rotational grazing lifts utilisation to 60–75%.
EverGraze / SW Farm Monitor ↗Utilisation is the cheapest production lever on the farm: lifting it five points grows more beef from the same rainfall, fertiliser and land. It is the bridge between dry matter production and net production per hectare.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Rotationally graze — shorter, denser grazings with real rest periods.
Match mob feed demand to the seasonal pasture growth curve.
Cut spring surplus for silage or hay rather than letting it rank.
