I really do not know too much about the cow. Like I said, it is one of my dad's. The only think I really know is it is purebred Angus and it looks awfully funny standing in the pasture. I will ask him if it always stands like this, or if it is just when it gets up. Oh, and when I saw it, it...

I am not sure how the hooves are. I asked my dad to look at them.

I was riding with my dad in the pasture and noticed one of his cows was standing in an ackward position. It had it's back legs stretched way back and it's front legs were stretched foward. It looked like a dog that was stretching out. He said it has stood like that since he got it 3 years...

I am not offering this land and this service. There is a gentleman in my area that offers this. I was just wondering if this was too high, too low, or what. Thanks

What are some going prices for people taking care of your cattle (they supply pasture and take care of the cattle)? Around here I have heard $1 a day per head (cow/calf). Is this high? Low? Thanks

SE Kansas on about 15,000 acres.

I was talking to a guy that runs a ranch and has about 1500-2000 head. I was asking him about feeding his cattle in the winter. He said they only feed pellets because there is no way they could feed hay and finish in 24 hours. Is this smart or no? What are your comments?

I was wondering if you were to breed heifers, would it be okay to put bred heifers on wheat pasture from December, pull them off in March, put them on grass and wait until they calve in May. The reason I ask is because I wonder if this would make them too fat (the wheat pasture) and cause...

While looking at the EPD's of a bull I notice a Birth Weight and I also notice a number for Calving Ease. It makes sense to me that if a cow (especially heifer) was to have a smaller calf the calving would be easier. I guess my question is what all is used to decide the Calving Ease number. I...

There was a video on msn.com about that mouse that caught that house on fire. I was hoping the video would show the mouse running into the house on fire, but unfortunately it only showed what was left of the house. Here is the address: http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=35a64 ... f=06/64&p=

How many paddocks do most of you use, that are using rotational grazing (for one herd)?

Thanks everybody for the replies! I am thinking about doing rotational grazing and was just trying to get an idea as to what some of the benefits are. I have read Jim Gerrish's book over MiG, and wanted to know what people that were currently doing it, thought about it. Thanks all.

dun, So I am a little confused. If you can own 70 acres and run 10 cow/calf pairs on it, why would you want to do Management Intensive Grazing running the same amount of pairs? It does not seem worth all of the extra work if you cannot run more cattle. What kind of ratio can you expect to...

I know there are a million factors that determine how many cows you can have per acre, and one of the best ways it to find out what a neighbor is doing. Well, nobody around here does rotational grazing. If most people in my area are putting 1 cow per 7 acres (soon to be cow/calves), what ratio...

When do you plant the grass? Right after wheat has been harvested? Also, should this new pasture land be grazed less intensely? Your replies so far have been very good, Thanks!

I was considering buying some a wheat field and converting it to pasture land. How much work is involved when doing this? Is it complicated? Thanks.

dcara- Thanks for the website. I have done pretty extensive research on this topic and this is probably the best site I have seen. Thanks again!

OKay, thanks. That makes more sense. Also... Is breeding your cows with a bull any different with intense grazing. It is probably not but I have not heard anything about this subject.

I have read several articles on the internet over intensive (rotational) grazing. I am a little confused as to how many cows per acre. I know ultimately it depends on your type of land, but I read the ratio can be 2-4 cattle per acre all the way up to 10 per acre. Is this ratio for the total...
