[QUOTE="JSteim, post: 1295587, member: 23791"] We are cow/calf. I was hoping to get ~ 4000 pounds of forage per acre for 20 acres between now and May to get 100+ days of grazing for our small herd. With a portion of the field coming in as dirt not sure what we will get now. It cost us about $2000 for fertilizer/disking/planting. If we get 40 days of grazing we will break even as compared to throwing round bales. The farmer next door has planted a 27 acre field in oats the last few winters and it looks like he gets more than that as he puts about 75 weaners on it for several days at a time. Seeing how much grazing his herd got out of that field is what made me want to try putting it in oats. [/QUOTE]
