Hi Ken;
You said that it takes 15-20 acres per beast - is that correct?
Over here the "normal stock rate" on good short term grass lays would be:-
Beef steer 12-18 months old - 1 acre per beast
Dairy cattle - 1.5 acres per cow
Sheep - 1 acre for 4 ewes & lambs.
This would be fertilized grass. They would aim for silage/hay crop plus grazing. ie 10 beef on 10 acres - 6 acres for grazing & 4 acres silage.
On poor upland grazing the numbers per acre would be lower.
Cheers David
