stocking
(redirected from set stocking)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
stocking
1. white markings on the lower legs; in horses from the coronet to the carpus or hock and in dogs most of the leg up to the elbow or stifle.
2. populating a farm with animals.

set stocking
the livestock are left on the same pasture, in the same fields or paddocks for long periods, under range conditions often indefinitely. Compare with rotational grazing.
stocking rate
the number of livestock carried per unit of area of pasture. In order to make comparison more rational the procedure is to equate each animal in terms of a standard for the species. See also dry sheep equivalent.
