scenario:
55 acres of river bottom pasture in very good condition--grass is about as good as it gets for this area. Already fenced into 3 even sections. Working facilities are very good and ready to go.
You could realistically run 50 mama cows if you are smart with their grazing yr. round.
What would you do? Stockers yr. round or cows yr. round?
I've seen stockers run for 5 months ( warm months) on nothing but grass and gain almost two lbs. a days.
Those stockers were given no feed at all except to get them to come to the corral every so often.
