The Stoß is a unit of cattle stock density used in the Alps. For each Alm or Alp it is worked out how many Stoß (Swiss: Stössen) can be grazed (bestoßen); one cow equals one Stoß, 3 bulls equal 2 Stöße, a calf is 1 ⁄ 4 Stoß, a horse of 1, 2 or 3 years old is worth 1, 2 or 3 Stöße, a pig equals 1 ⁄ 4, a goat or a sheep is 1 ⁄ 5 ...

For example, some animal unit calculations used in Texas assume that daily forage dry matter consumption by a 90-pound nanny Spanish goat is 4.5 percent of body weight. Thus the nanny:cow ratio of daily dry matter consumption is estimated at 4.5:26, or about 0.16. This yields the estimate that such a nanny is equivalent to about 0.16 animal ...
