[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 730385, member: 13261"] I have total of 100 acreages and separated into 4 sections. the two sections will be utilize for hay production and the other two will be used in grazing. I read some articles that some companies make 400lbs marsh mellow or "wet baleage". i know that i will end up acquiring at least 90hp for mowing and making bales. the reason why i look into 400lbs is it easier to work with than 1000lbs or more and less dangerous. i am in the state of Washington on the western side where we receive plenty of rain. this spring i will plant white clover with perennial rye grass on one section of the pasture. i know that the cattle cannot graze until next year. I am going to use a machine that is no till where the seed is in place. I have kept this land chemical free at least 5 years. I have irrigation pipes already under the pasture and need just riser and pipes to place the water for summer of july and august. i have a close friend who is a vet. my concern will be when the calf is too big or backward (or breech position). i know the aspect of epd in regard how dam and sire can influence the calf bw. Eventually, i will have to do AI with a cleaning bull when the herd get that big. But, I have some friends who has black angus bull with low bw with better success rate of AI (usually 60-70 PER CENT RATE). in any calving, there is that chance of breech position or backward position where a vet is urgently needed. remember, i am going with baby step. i respect the board advices with their utmost respect and endless and value experiences. thank you Jeanne-Simme Valley for your generous response and advice.
