[QUOTE="bdog, post: 90885, member: 485"] Maybe 30 steers is too many to be in this small of an area? This is the impression I am getting form some of you. Honestly I have no idea. I have been told a round bale will feed 30 steers for 1 day, and I figured 300 bales = 30 steers for 10 months. Should I be looking at feeding fewer cattle for longer? These are the questions I am unsure about. I guess what I am saying is if you had enough hay to feed 9000 animal days, what would you buy and how long would you keep them? I could feed 30 steers 10 months, 15 steers 20 months, 60 steers 5 months, etc Are steers even the best bet? Would I be better off buying pairs, or pregnant cows? I know just enough about cattle to be dangerous. I have been around them and worked for others taking care of them, but I have no idea on the business side of things. [/QUOTE]
