[QUOTE="RefugeRanch, post: 708169, member: 9051"] Jim, Thanks for the comments. You are probably correct when it comes to buying hay verses putting your own up. What I love about putting up our own hay is the memories that are being built and the lessons learned (though time consuming). My father-in-law has asked before are you a farmer or business owner. We own our own senior housing business. The cattle being raised/sold would help off set the purchase of this land so it all has to make sence. The twenty acre pasture is an aging alfalfa field (more alfalfa than grass though) with some different types of grasses creeping in. I am not sure if to much live alfalfa is a bloat concern for grazing cattle. With rotational grazing supplimented by legume/hay (our other 30 acres), I would think 20 acres could support ten cow/calf pairs if not a few more? Here comes my lack of experience/knowledge. Thanks again for the information and I enjoy reading your other posts. Have a blessed day. Paul [/QUOTE]
