You need to provide a lot more information. Condition of the field, condition of the grass, type of grass, type and size of cattle, and so on. If you have good grass and you have small cattle it will be far better than poor grass and big cattle. So send us a little more info and someone from your area will likely step up and respond Regards Bez+

The pasture is about 15 acres and is made up of healthy native grasses with a little broom straw with about 5 acres of trees. This pasture has had cattle on it for about 40 years and the cattle are mainly black angus.
