[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1652772, member: 39018"] I'm sure it'll be significantly different up there than here... rainfall is for sure different, and carrying capacity of the ground too. Don't know what you have to figure for land costs... I'm using $200/a as a kind of average rent that I have to charge myself for my own ground on my spreadsheet. It mostly comes down to density of animals per acre that you can carry though (carrying density, not grazing stocking density). If you look at the numbers I gave you, I'm figuring I can get to 1AU (1000#)/a and maybe a little more, and keep 'em fed all through the summer. I'd like to have some row crop that I grow underseeded/interseeded covers in, and then let them use that as "winter stockpiled feed" once the "summer pastures" have been grazed off.... I think that can have real potential, especially in 60" rows. I'd be willing to leave some corn out there intentionally even for them... like maybe 10% or so, and let the cows do the harvesting.
