Table 2.

Least square means (kcal/BW^0.75/d) followed by standard errors for net energy for maintenance activity (Nemr_act) and resting energetic expenditure (Rest EE) for steers grazing in the Northern Great Plains rangelands under three stocking rate intensities.

Stocking rate	Nemr_Act	Rest EE
Heavy	16.5A ± 0.89	5.57A ± 0.11
Moderate	15.6B ± 0.89	5.96B ± 0.11
Light	15.9B ± 0.89	5.86B ± 0.11

Energetic expenditure was calculated by integrating the GPS tracking data and in-pasture weighing technology with animal nutrition models. Different letters within columns indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
