[QUOTE="traks44, post: 643002, member: 7091"] We use a 7 acre AUM here in our mountain pastures and a 10 acre AUM in Our lower Native grass pastures. Now that may not help alot but I can tell you this area will not be 1-2 acre AUM land. You would not be able to run very many pairs on here at all for for any amount of time. The best bet might be to run stockers out on it. Pick up some 650-700 wt cattle or buy them early if you can feed them cheap and get them to 650-700, you will only need 150-175 lbs of gain on the grass. Implant them and with good grass they should touch 2.5lbs gain per day. Plan it right and you could make as much as $100 a head on a load of 50-55 animals. Or thats what I would try and do. Really depends on just how good of grass it is but since you dont wonna feed hay I suspect a marketing program where you only have ownership for 3-5 months would be the best. I would stray away from steer finishing, I am not sure if you have alot of experience trying to get animals to finish but getting the last 150 lbs on "grass finished" animals is really tough. In this case if you started running out of grass and they werent quite there yet you would have serious problems. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
