The hydrosedimentological models have an enormous potential in Brazil to be the best tool for the estimative of soil lost principally due to their complexity on description of the processes and the robustness that validate them. However, due to a need of a very big volume of required information in connection with the difficulties to adapt the international models and the need of time and structure to create national models, the Universal Soil Lost Equation (USLE) and its variations still are a reference in Brazil to soil lost determination. In this article, a new model to calculate the SL factor, the USLE 2D Software combined with the IDRISI were used. The inedited application was done in Southeast Cattle Breeding Embrapa's Canchim Farm, consisting on the first work of this nature done in this area with such tools. The results obtained were coherent to types of soil, slopes and vegetal cover in the area of study.
