[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1180392, member: 21684"] We figure a little over 2 to 2 1/2 feet per cow depending on size. Set out a certain amount of feed for that time period if you would limit feed in 12 hour cycles they would over eat when you turn them in. You will need good fences either guardrail or electric over barb wire works for us we also set salt blocks which seems to help keep them content. How much you limit feed will be based on your cows weight and the rule of thumb is 2% of that we usually feed under that based on the feed sources and energy levels. If possible you need a seperate gain weight yard for the old, young and under conditioned and need to sort cattle in and out as needed. [/QUOTE]
