[QUOTE="pdubdo, post: 1273149, member: 24024"] Looking for thoughts/suggestions/ideas as I'm figuring out the big picture for my recently bought, pretty raw land. Pictures would be much better, but I'll describe what I've got-imagine this as a straight line County road w/ water/electric -> 10 acre rectangular homestead site -> limestone creek cuts across property -> 5 acre connecting square -> 60 acre pasture in back w/ currently dry pond (needs rennovating) Creek is smooth-ish rock bottom with gradually sloping sides-it runs 6-9 months out of the year. 30 feet across and never more than 6 inches deep. Will prob freeze briefly this winter. There is 1 single dirt road that connects the entire property. Minimal elevation changes. Initial goal is 5-7 red angus. Question #1: working pens close to the road or back in the pasture? Question #2: Pipe county water from the road (across creek), or establish water (pond/drill well etc) in the back? Thanks for your thoughts [/QUOTE]
