Enter the Date that the FOO was recorded as well as the Current Feed on Offer. You can do this manually or use the Estimate by Height button. This allows you to estimate dry matter by vegetation height. Simply choose the pasture height and corresponding kg DM/ha then select Ok.

Note: The estimation ruler is dependent on your farm region and assumes an average vegetation quality. By default, the ruler is based on the MLA Pasture Ruler. For farms in the US, it is sourced from West Virginia University.
