Stocking DENSITY (rather than stocking RATE) is much more time-flexible than stocking rate, because we can see how much live-weight per acre is on a piece of land for a set amount of time. To calculate stock density, an example: If we had 300 head of steers that weighed an average of 750 lb, total live-weight would be 225,000 lbs. If we put 300 head on 160 acres (a typical quarter section of land in Canada or the USA) using a paddock system of 0.5 acres (320 paddocks) then the calculated stocking rate is ((300*750)/0.5) = 450,000 lb/acre. This value is primarily used in a rotational grazing system, and can be taken further with regards to the time that this many animals are on that piece of land.
