[QUOTE="BryanM, post: 1066279, member: 6828"] thanks for the replies, I guess I need to tell my whole plan for this to make sense! I dont have alot of land, 13 acres as of today. Aprox 4 acres of pasture as of right now, and on the pasture we have 4 cows and 3 calves and thru rotational grazing had decent grass until september then started feeding some hay. We hayed the other 8 acres for are winter hay and sold the rest. We have hayed for the last 5 years with old equipment that breaks down every other time we hay and picking up and stacking hay well it pretty hard work for what we get out of it. I think I would need to update my equipment and with that expense not sure it pays to hay a small parcel. well my new plan is to have someone else hay the hay field with rounds and keep the hay for my cattle then rotational graze the hay field along with the other 4 acres. My thinking is to add a couple more cows and sell their calves, I think I could do a little bettter than selling hay plus it might be a little easier on the family than haying. we have raised a few cattle for the last 5 years so we kinda have a clue on what that takes. But after going over the books and what we would have in newwer equipment vs how much hay we produce it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
