[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 888129, member: 16648"] I've never paid mOre than 12 dollars an acre and we can run a pair per acre or acre and a half . Say yOu can run 200 head on that place . Cow prices are sky high now . I would assume you are buying more cows to stock it . At 1200 a head it will take 4 years at best to pay for herself . Then he expects you to put 20 k worth of fertilizer . And pay x amount for a lease plus mowing fence fixing etc. I would be worried he is putting to much fertilizer or getting to much run off . If its just cow pasture I would think at least half of the fertilizer goes back from the cow . Sounds like you will be paying a note on someone else's land instead of your own. Around here we pretty much pay the taxes on the place and mow once a year in the fall keep fences up etc. if the pasture needs more fertilizer you should be able to run less stock and relieve some grazing pressure and leave some organic matter .
