[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1748645, member: 24074"] We ran 80 calves on 30 acres last year but used a hot wire and moved them every 5-7 days and gave 25ish days of rest per paddock. Could have used a little more rest last year hence the reason I’ve set aside another 30 acres (12 of it being the Ray’s Crazy Mix other 18 is really good mixed grasses) for this year. We are going to run 125 weaned calves together this year. Worse case we throw back on summer stock piled pastures and let the annuals get a few more rest days. We stagger planting because if you don’t everything comes ready to graze all at once then you have to cut some for hay or it will get anyway from you before the calves have a chance to graze it. It happens really bad with Sudan Sorghum, it will get to 48” plus in a blink. [/QUOTE]
