Ok.

Are you collecting moving and spreading the manure on some crop land? It would depend on the amount you gather and some random samples tested to see the fertilizer value shown.

Are you talking about the value to that 30 acres? Seems they might break even on that, they graze away some grass but add back the manure from imported feeds. Would get down to how much this is a pasture or how much it is a dry lot, depends on the rainfall you get I suppose.in my climate you can support 2 head per acre over much of the summer, but winter not at all and spring would be a muddy mess. Other locations way too dry it would end up just bare ground.

managed intensive mob grazing you could set up quite a system and use the value of the manure on those 30 acres.

70 cattle roaming around 30 acres and some feed thrown at them, I’m not sure there is a ‘value’ really.

Just trying to understand your question.
