[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 35246, member: 132"] I was thinking of putting 500 lb steers out there, letting them put on about 100lbs over a couple months and then selling them. Basically what I am trying to figure out is how many cows should I place per acre to graze this down in a short period of time. I am not really intrerested in how many in can support continually, but rather how many it would feed for a month or two because I am going to plow everything up at that time. I was thinking around 5 per acre? I don't know.[/quote] If we are talking 500 lb steers and the grass is as lush as I am reading this to beprobaly 2 to 2 1/2. In your post you also asked "how many cows should I place per acre". If cows, probaly 1 per acre. Agree with redangus as soon as the grass is gone go to the sale with them. [/QUOTE]
