[QUOTE="upfrombottom, post: 723329, member: 13088"] I to live in northeast Arkansas, and I know of no pasture in this part of the state that will support cattle year round without supplemental feeding. In case you don't know, frost is not what causes perennial grasses and trees to go dormant, its daylight or lack there of. Frost only hastens dormancy. Clover will only grow in this area in the spring with ample rain, come late June its gone. There are winter grasses that can be sowed for ground cover and grazing, but with limited daylight they usually will not support heavy grazing and are annuals so they will have to be replanted every year. If you do not cut your lawn in winter the grass is not growing. As someone else said, look at purchasing local cattle from an individual. They will be acclimated to your area and you will have someone to refer any questions. Ask the guy down the road if you can help him so you can learn. Do it for free, the experience is worth allot and in a few months you will know if you are cut out for the job of doing it alone. [/QUOTE]
