[QUOTE="dph, post: 156310, member: 2112"] As far as the bulls go, I don't know. Here in Iowa we can get a cow to three acres, maybe a little better. Let's say you have a 300 acre pasture, which would be pretty good size for here. It could run 100 cows pretty easy, which might require 5 bulls. But if you had it divided into 75 acre or 50 acre pieces, you could easily get by with 4 bulls. The cows are no longer spread out over the 300, just the 50-75. We run one bull less in our 240 acre pasture, now that we have it cross fenced, and haven't had any problems. Calving distribution continues to improve, open rate didn't increase, etc. [/QUOTE]
