Milking Area Pasture utilisation should be calculated on the area of the farm that the cows are milked on, known as the Milking Area. You must keep this in mind when entering your farms data. The milking area is the area in hectares that cows graze to produce milk. Do not include separate areas that replacement stock may graze or the area of run off blocks.
Area irrigated:	hectares Required: Please complete one or both of these fields
Area dryland:	hectares Required: Please complete one or both of these fields

Total Milking Area:	HECTARES
Irrigation water used
To estimate the amount of pasture grown on the irrigated area, you need to provide the amount of irrigation water that has been used for the season up to this date. If you are unsure, try to estimate the amount used.

Average production of milkfat per cow
Average milk production per season (kgMF/cow) Select the average kg of fat produced by your cows per season.
Greater than 220kgMF/cow 180 -220 kgMF/cow Less than 180 kgMF/cow
Feed consumed by milking & dry cows
Record total kilograms of milkfat produced to date, including the milk fed to calves.

Pasture consumed by dry cows away from milking area
Record the number of dry cows away and the number of days they were away to calculate pasture consumed by dry cows while they are away from the milking area
Number of dry cows:	x days away x 8 kgDM Required: Please enter number of dry cows away Required: Please enter number of days away	=
Pasture consumed by young stock, bulls or other stock on the milking area
Record the number of rising 1 year olds, rising 2 year olds, bulls and other stock grazing on the milking area and the days they were on the milking area

Brought in feed
Brought in feed refers to any feed that you have brought in from outside the milking area and fed to the stock during the period you are referring to. This will include: - feed that you have purchased - feed you may have brought in from the run off block or - any home grown feed conserved that has been carried over from the previous season Enter all the feed as wet tonnes fed. Extended help
Grain and pellets	Wet tonnes x 850	=
Hay	Wet tonnes x 800	=
Silage (bales)	Wet tonnes x 450	=
Silage (pit)	Wet tonnes x 300	=
Vegetable waste	Wet tonnes x 100	=

If you have fed a feed that is not listed here, record the type of feed, the amount you have feed in wet tonnes and the % of dry matter in the feed.

Fodder conserved but not used
Only complete this section if you are calculating pasture utilisation for the full year. This includes any feed that has been conserved on your farm over the year and hasn't been fed back to any of the stock on the milking area during that time. This includes conserved feed that has been fed off the milking area.
