[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1691437, member: 39695"] I have no first hand experience with intense rotational grazing. We are buying a little eleven acre place less than a quarter mile from my main farm. It's got a big old cattle barn and concrete feed floor. The previous owner said when he was growing up they kept around 70hd of strs on feed. My plan is to add line bunks and feed a silage/ground hay ration and section off about 7-9 acres and grow heifers to A I and sell as breds. If they are getting a large percentage of their nutrition in the bunk, and I rotate them every day how many yearling heifers would be reasonable? The acres that will be pasture is a hay field now. It's a mix of alfalfa, orchard grass, and Italian rye. No weeds. It's super thick. It was knee high, I was mowing in low gear slipping the clutch to keep from plugging the hay conditioner today. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
