An AUM is the amount of air-dry forage a 1,000-pound cow and her un-weaned calf will consume (the \u201cAnimal Unit\u201d) in one month. AUMs are frequently used to determine sustainable stocking rates for\u00a0grazing pastures and rangelands in the West. AUMs can also be\u00a0useful for managing private lands grazing because\u00a0they link animal demand with forage supply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bulletin is available for free viewing and download by going to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwyo.edu\/uwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">www.uwyo.edu\/uwe<\/a>\u00a0and clicking on the Find a Publication link and entering the bulletin title or number.
