[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1646698, member: 21194"] That's a mighty big "if" in the first statement. I doubt much, if any, of the country in the area you listed requires that much land for a cow/calf unit (unless it's mostly all thick woods). I know it doesn't in my part. I've been lucky with rain, and I've been ready to move some if needed, but here at home I've had a bull and 10 pairs on 22 acres all summer. They've had two round bales; one because the netting was bad and the other because it was left over from weaning 3 heifers. I'm guessing they based those numbers on country considerably farther west. I usually figure on 3 acres per cow/calf in average years. [/QUOTE]
