[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1020100, member: 18945"] If the woods are fenced, they have an additional 5 acres. Lots of people run cows in the woods especially in summer and early fall. I think "turning a profit" on 3 acres with current unpredictable weather is going to hard for beginners--everything will have to go just right. Timing included. 1.5 acres per head? Yes, if the pasture is good. Remeber, you will likely need to provide some mineral supplement, probably will want some parasite control, and if that 3 acres is poor pasture or you are in bad drought, you will have to supplement the pasture with some feed. It all adds up quick. No cow/calf--you don't have the acreage for it--you would have to feed momma too much for her to be able to raise the calf as well as carry it thru gestation. [/QUOTE]
