For combined cow–calf and stocker operations, the mean simulated fuel and electricity use was 52.3 L/animal and 113 kW∙h/animal, respectively,
which compared well to values reported on ranch visits (47 L/animal and 140 kW∙h/animal, respectively; AsemHiablie et al., 2015).
Combined, this was an energy use of 2,300 MJ/animal for this type of operation.
