[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1835548, member: 43196"] You have 40 acres of pasture and 11 cattle? I'm not sure of the composition of your pasture, but where I am you can pretty much support 1 animal with two acres and very little supplemental feeding. However, you get to some areas in the west and it takes 15 acres per animal. That would be on rangeland. The one animal to two acres I'm talking Bermuda or fescue with overseeding of winter annuals. If your pasture is divided, it should support more animals than what you have......I think. Not positive unless I see the pasture. You might want to consider setting up a rotational grazing system if you don't have that. The lamb's quarters is great stuff! Most people just consider it a weed (in their garden). It's actually a highly nutritious forb. [/QUOTE]
