An animal unit month is the amount of forage needed to sustain one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month. The annually adjusted fee, which takes effect March 1, is computed by using a 1966 base value of $1.23 per AUM for livestock grazing on public lands in Western States. The figure is then adjusted according to three current private factors grazing land lease rats, beef cattle prices and the cost of livestock production. The fee increased this year because of higher beef cattle prices and higher private grazing land lease rates. (In 1993, the private land lease rate for the 11 Western States was $10.20 per head per month. That is an increase of 17 cents over 1992, when it was $10.03 per head per month.) Although the cost of livestock production rose, it was not enough of an increase to offset the higher beef cattle prices and the higher private grazing land lease rates. The newly set fee applies to BLM lands and national forests in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming and to national grasslands in California, Idaho and Oregon.
