Almost 400 acres in N/Central Mississippi...95% open pasture... good soil, could raise cotton or corn on half the place in the bottoms, but not a row cropper, just cattle.....
I practice rotational grazing and could carry a cow/calf per acre, but just to be on the safe side, try to keep the ratio one pair to 1 1/2 or 2 acres....winters are mild...do some hay..feed a bunch of commodities (cotton seed, gin trash, ect) for 3 1/2 to 4 months. Do a little ryegrass, but not much...
Had a dry summer, but that's rare...with some fertilizer, bihalia, dallas, bermuda grasses abound. Taxes are most reasonable $3 to $4 per acre, this is some of the relatively cheapest land in U.S. ... $1000-$1200 an acre.
