Conteúdo: 	Abstract: This paper describes the construction, use and validation of a farm advisory model designed to evaluate grassland management decisions on beef and sheep farms in the UK. The model differs in a number of significant aspects from an earlier one constructed by the authors and the paper focuses on these differences. Using the model it is possible to assess the implications of altering fertiliser, stocking, feeding and grazing management strategies. Comparisons of predicted with recorded stocking rates and quantities of silage made indicate that most farms are operating below their potential. For individual farms, the differences between observed and predicted performance can be large. Nevertheless, the model's predictions were considered credible given good grassland management.
