[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1138900, member: 122"] Other than clearing the amount of money you would like, you may be able to carry 30 cows. How many acres are you able to use for hay? Are the acres of pasture open or wooded? I'm not sure of how your climate compares to mine, but I have 130 acres tillable and am able to raise enough feed to carry 60 cows and finish out 50 feeders a year. I raise corn for silage and for grain and alfalfa for hay. Cows get corn silage and hay all winter, calves are finished out on corn and protein pellets and corn stalk bales. My pasture is mostly wooded but does have some open areas, but I have around 170 acres of pasture. My cows are on pasture less than 4 months per year as I fall calve and want them all brought home before calving. So I would think you could carry the cows maybe more if you have enough productive tillable land. [/QUOTE]
