[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 47445, member: 9"] Don't mean to be a pessimist; however, one acre that is prone to flooding 2+ times a year is a serious problem waiting to happen with cattle. Would only use this acre for temporary holding pen. Also, advise you get the land and quality fencing first...then, think about getting cattle to put on it. Or, sell your present place, get something in country so you and your proposed cattle can move there. Remember...about 1 acre grazing per head of cattle about the limit. Any place that floods or stays muddy where cattle are is disease and other cattle problems waiting to happen. And, remember that too many cattle per acre will destroy the grass there and subject the land to erosion, especially with flooding or heavy rains. [/QUOTE]
