[QUOTE="customcattle, post: 1189450, member: 23133"] Thanks for the advice, I have been looking for land that would be in the same proximity as to find cheaper feed, but have found more land in northern and east central MN. I have a couple more questions and am sure I will find more to ask later. From my research I have found that a person can expect stocking rates to be anywhere from 1.5 to about 5 acres per cow stocking rate. Again I am not able to be there just wanting to find out as much information as I can. Would this be an accurate number to figure for a stocking rate and if so would it be true for a year or month? We have also found a lot of properties that have a number of wooded acres on them and have thought about the possibility of clear cutting portions of those acres out. I know there is a market for logging in that part of the country, but know absolutely nothing about it. How many cords/acre could a person expect? How much would a logging company pay/cord? What kind of reclamation would the logging company do? Would they stump it out or would that be the landowner's responsibility? If it is the land owner's responsibility would there be a way to recapture some of the initial costs of stumping those acres? (ie. chipping stumps for shavings or something else?) I know that the logging issue has a lot of variables including stand maturity, species, and probably a lot of other things, but just an idea would be very much appreciated. thanks again [/QUOTE]
