Chuckie,
I work for the USDA ARS Plant Introduction and Testing. We are simply put a genetic seed bank, I deal with cool season grasses and safflower. This area is strictly small grains, they can produce 120 bushel of wheat per acre and this is dry land. Most of the fences in this area have gone unkept and/or bulldozed into holes and covered up. Pasture is cheap when you can find it, about $8.00 for a pair. I just have a few head so I've been shuffling them from pasture to pasture over the summer, but it gets pretty old.
