[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 104287, member: 1132"] Since it is likely that only half of the calves that come from this cow & any subsequent heifers that you keep (& they won't give you a calf for another 2 yrs post birth) - you will be very very old by the time you start utilizing most of that 150 acres! You could set a target time to achieve optimal stocking say ~8-10 yrs & work backward to an approximate number of cows to start with. If your land could support ~100 pairs, then if you had 50% heifers & kept all of them & they all bred properly (assumes no losses & that all the cows including the original were still producing - poor assumptions), but within 8 yrs you should be able to get to approximatly 100 cows.
