NO: Q: What do elk eat?

A: Again, elk are grazers, just like cattle. Elk are more "efficient" grazers than cattle, however. A good rule of thumb is that if your land will support 1 female dairy cow, it will sustain 3 female elk. This results in an overall lower cost since you fence and manage 1/3 as much land for the same herd size. Elk do require better forage to maintain optimum condition, so pasture improvement is sometimes recommended. During velveting and lactation, elk have higher nutritional needs
