I specialize in cattle. Manure wont eliminate the need for fertilizer but it almost eliminates phos. Bed pack I was spreading was 7-5-15 and a steer makes about 15 ton of it a year. Can extrapolate that out. For me 30 steers and 130 row crop acres rotating fields works pretty dang good. With continuous manure app the phos levels keep climbing regardless of "applied" phos.
