[QUOTE="Lon, post: 1131832, member: 16174"] Yes he is a good friend. One of those friends you can call your only real honest friend a pal. But irregardless of that i would move to wherever makes sense for use to move in its own right. In our are this is how is goes for us right now. It take 12 acres for summer grazing which lasts 6 months from may through oct. After that than the winter land all depends on how you winter wiether you graze mostly or feed alot of hay but still allowing plenty of room cause they are there for six months too which includes calving. Now if i was to buy the land in our area it is 1,000+ per acre going for as much as 1700 an acre for just grass. Keep in mind 12 acres per pair for 6 months grazing. I have alot of rented ground that i run on right now but the cheapest it ranges is 25/month per pair. I dont have alot of that price ground and it goes up to 48.78/month for a pair. I have more of the 43+ a month ground obviously. Now i also provide all fences and water on the ground myseld so if dam dries up its my problem.
