[QUOTE="Utah, post: 131945, member: 1043"] Hi Woodspirit, If you can find Dexters (hard to do), that would be a fun way to go. I think that on one acre you could do fine if you supplemented with some good hay and a little grain. Also, you will want to split your pasture into two or three pads by hot wire so you can rotate the cow's grazing. I had a couple of steers from last April on a little over two acres but had irrigation water. There was so much left over pasture that next year I will be getting 5 or 6 on those two acres. When I rotated them, there seemed to be more to eat. Here are two links that really helped me - Being a rookie, I am sure to get comments from those with more experience.
