Abstract
•
The combination of stocking rate and marketing date that maximizes average net return per head will not necessarily maximize average net return per hectare.
•
The combination of stocking rate and marketing date that maximizes average net return per hectare often comes with risk-related tradeoffs, such as a higher risk and magnitude of negative net returns.
•
The combination of stocking rate and marketing date will have implications (not quantified in this study) for the quantity of standing forage residue, which could be used for fall/winter grazing within the same year or for drought preparedness in the following year.
