Unsuitable management practices over natural resources cause the levels of use to exceed their natural regeneration capacity, constituting a major environmental and economic problem. In order to prevent degradation, it will be necessary to design sustainable management plans that take into account biological and economic factors in order to achieve optimum production, for which we should make use of bioeconomic models. The database was built with information from studies of food profiles of cattle farms in central highland conditions of Peru to know the effect of stocking rate on the dynamics of vegetation and the level of vegetation removal, understood as optimal animal consumption of cattle to maximize benefits. The bioeconomic model approach of Gordon and Scheafer (1954), the maximum and safe stocking rate approach of Noy Meier (1975) and the method of Galarza and Collado (2013) were applied for the estimation of the shadow price of natural resources. The results show that vegetation responds when stocking rate levels of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 AU are introduced at a growth level of the pasture forage resource such that it could withstand removal or respective consumption by moving to the right, i.e., that vegetation prolonged the time at which it reaches the maximum growth level consistent with the ecological theories of vegetation growth and response to defoliation described by Holocheck (1985) and Odum (2006). It was estimated that the optimum stocking rate expressed in AUM/ha was 2.26 when the market price was used. The optimal stocking rate level is associated with an available biomass stock of 4587.32 Kg DM/ha/month, a consumption level of 970 Kg DM/ha/month and a milk production level of 381.43 liters. With the shadow price of the forage, calculated at 0.52 S/ Kg DM the optimum stocking rate decreases to 2.01 UAM. The economic benefits were reduced from S/ 224.26 to S/ 154.42 soles when using both price approaches. It was determined that stocking rate levels higher than 4.52 UAM represent economic losses for livestock activity. The practical rule of use of pasture forage in farms similar to those used in the food profiles considered for this research was 2 to 3 AUM/ha.
