[QUOTE="flaboy+, post: 186777, member: 2489"] I would probably take the two 5 acre plots on the left of your picture and make a 10 acre plot out of it. I would take the plots on the right and make two 7 acre plots out of it. Rotate between the three. The ten acres on the left I would put the gate up at the corner by the highway with the gate opening across your driveway. The opposite side could have a gate in the same area and the two could swing open to create an easy way to block them off from going up the driveway when changing fields. You would of course need a gate to shut of the driveway to the highway also. The gate between the two 7 acres plots on the right I would put the gate up near the corner of your 5 acre yard plot. It's not exactly in the corner of the two 7 acre plots but pretty close. Like others have said I would put the cattle pen up near the house but since you have a barn there that can house cattle? You could move those that you need to watch in there? If not then like others said put the pen up near the house so you can look out and see what is going on. My cattle pen is a long ways from the house but then again I don't pay much attention to my cows other than twice a year. They are pretty much on their own unless I see something that makes me move one up to the pen. If this happens then I just drive to the pen as often as needed. [/QUOTE]
