[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 932905, member: 15537"] :welcome: Hello Neighbor! 1 cow per acre is what I was told as well.... but I am having a hard time making that work. I have 52 acres - about 40 of that is wooded. I really only have 12 acres of grazing. I had 9 momma cows at one time and this place won't support them rotating between 4 pastures. A dry year and I sold half of them. The next years grass was so stunted, I had to sell a few more the next year. I only have 3 momma cows now and we are doing good. Time to build back up :cboy: Thanks to help and suggestions from agmantoo I started doing rotational grazing on a scale that I think could support that 1 cow per acre number. We will see! At todays cow prices, I am just going to retain my own heifers and work my way back up slowly. The old saying is "plant nothing by fence posts the first year" [/QUOTE]
