[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 813019, member: 539"] How many acres per cow is going to vary widely from area to area depending on the soil type, climate, rainfall, irrigation or lack thereof, etc. I would suggest you check with your local extension office, as they can tell you what the norm is in your area. I don't know it for a fact, but I seriously doubt that 3 acres is enough to raise 5 cows and their calves without requiring a lot of supplementation with hay. They will have that pasture eaten down to nothing in no time, and it won't come back for a very long time. [/QUOTE]
