[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 111985, member: 1101"] Welcome to the boards.........ditto to the above...........in many ways, and on several days, I wish I had stayed hobby size like that........ Your carrying capacity of course is not only dependant on the type, and amount of forage you have, but also the quality, any money you spend toward this endevour, I would consider putting toward the improvement of your perm. pastures...ie, seed, and fertility. Not only can you get a better stand of grasses, but in the long run, your cattle show the results as well. IMO, it is by far the least expensive investment in the long run. You also need to decide what you want to do with your excess cattle, raise for beef or try to breed one or two each year as replacements. In doing so, consider AI as an alternative to bringing a bull in for breeding, or even ship your cow to a temp. pasture that has a bull in it, this way you can give your pasture a rest as well. For small numbers of cattle, this is by far the best method, again this is just MO, Good luck in your endevour. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
