Custom Grazing

[Phil A.]

Need some ideas guys. It looks like I am going to have some extra grass coming my way this Spring. Not real sure I have enough time to add more cows full time. So here's the question. What would folks pay for me to custom graze pairs? I would want to charge by the day. All the owner does is drop off I maintain all fence, check regularly pay and fill Mineral feeders. Owner shows up and hauls them off in the fall. Owner stands vet bills and death losses.

Give me an idea of what is in line to charge per day.

Ohio/Indiana Line is where we are located.

I was offered $1.25/hd to overwinter yearling heifers.

I am not really answering your question. But if I thought I could use the pasture maybe next year I would let it sit empty. It might make you more money in the long run giving it a year off.

I 2nd that. At least leave it till fall or as winter stockpile. That will give it a chance to better establish itself, put down deeper root system etc.
