[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1691447, member: 40072"] Rotational grazing can be a game changer. I will not ask about the size of your operation other than are you considering including all or any part of it with the newly acquired acreage? Whether you think you can or you can't move cattle on a continual basis you will be correct in either case. The answer will determine how rotational grazing is going to work for you. Can I assume you have utilities at the eleven acres? I would recommend a 'good' 8-10 joule energizer and a supply of fiber or geo tec posts, ([I]not steel!) [/I]Unless you have to cross a major road I would incorporate the eleven acres with the main farm as it will be handy for many reasons. You will need to vary the size of your paddocks from one grazing period to the next and that is something you will figure out as time goes by. I will use an area from 3 to 5 days with a 35 day rotation. (or that is the goal) The main goal is to keep the cow and not iron and oil between the sun and the ground. good luck [/QUOTE]
