Accurate and precise estimation of herbage mass is essential for livestock management, because herbage allowance depends on it estimation. Difficulties in estimation arise because of great variability in herbage mass in grassland and rangeland situations. Measuring yield directly by cutting is costly and destructive; but herbage height is highly correlated with herbage mass, thus could be a substitute of the cutting. Based on measurement of herbage mass in a large experiment (EEBR) and in four farms across Uruguay (MICN), we analyzed the relationship between herbage height and dry weight of the quadrat in kg/ha. Analysis was performed
with PROC MIXED and PROC CORR of SAS. On the other hand, the sample size to be taken in each paddock is of great importance and was estimated from the data population described above by resampling and estimating the coefficient of variation (CV) between means. A CV of 10% was defined as the limit to consider the estimation precise enough. The general relationship was y = 224 (±36) + x * 339 (±4), R2 = 0.84. Sample size to maintain the average with a CV error below 10% varied with mean, because it change the variance, however as a general rule, with a sample size between 60 to 100 only one estimation from 198, was above 10% error of the mean. We conclude that estimations based on herbage height are accurate enough (R2 = 0.84) to estimate the herbage mass and a sample size from
60 to 100, give as confidence to estimate herbage mass with precision in paddocks from 5 to 190 ha. That methodology should be extended to Campos rangeland manager for decision making to control grazing intensity.

ABSTRACT.
Early maternal care contributes to the normal development of the physiological, social and emotional functions of the offspring. As sheep are a strongly gregarious species, separation and isolation of an individual from the flock provokes fear and, consequently a stress response. The first aim of this study was to compare the stress response to social isolation of rams that were reared by their mothers or artificially reared. A complementary objective was to compare the cortisol response to an ACTH challenge in both groups of rams. Rams were: 1) separated from their dams 24?36 h after birth (Week 0) and artificially fed with sheep milk until Week 10 (group AR, n = 14); or 2) reared by their dams until Week 10 (group DR, n = 13). The rams were then kept in separate, adjacent paddocks for the rest of the study. When they were 8 months old, 10 animals randomly selected from each group were isolated from the group in an unfamiliar pen during 10 min. Behavioural (the number of lines crossed, frequencies of vocalizations, eliminations, sniffing, escape attempts and freezing), physiological (heart and respiratory rate, and rectal temperature), biochemical (total blood proteins, globulins and albumin), and endocrine (serum cortisol concentrations) variables were recorded. Dam-reared rams eliminated (defecations + urinations) more times and crossed more lines during the social isolation test than AR lambs (P < 0.05). The increase in total proteins and albumin concentration after the social isolation test was also greater in DR than AR rams (P = 0.01 and P < 0.01 respectively). Artificially-reared rams had greater globulin concentration than DR rams after the test (P = 0.04). When rams were 2 years old, ACTH was administered to 10 rams randomly selected from each group, and the cortisol response was measured. Dam-reared rams had greater cortisol concentrations than AR rams at 150 and 180 min after the administration of ACTH (P < 0.05). In conclusion, artificially reared rams were less affected by social isolation and had lower adrenal response to an ACTH challenge than rams reared by their mothers. This study suggests that the relationship with the mother plays a key role in the development of rams? social behaviour. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. MenosABSTRACT.
