[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 761146, member: 5559"] I think in our area its 30 acres per head of cattle..quite a shellshock for my husband, who grew up ranching in Hawaii..where it was 2 acres per head. :) We are utterly blessed to have irrigated land..our goal it to divide our pasture into quarters, with a central corral..we can rotationaly graze the quarters and irrigate the sides the cattle are not on..during the spring and summer..Not having to rely on mother nature brings peace of mind in both grazing and also our hay production. I know many other hay producers who will graze their cattle on their hayfields in the "off" months.. Dryland hay suffers each year..we have sometimes gotten up to 4 cuts off of our coastal field..dryland is LUCKY to get 2. Hay is a reality during the winter however...Rounds run anywhere from $35 to $65 each... Yes, Wichita Falls has LOTS of wheat..just saw the combines starting to harvest it this past weekend..most guys baling theres have done so already..you head east of here and all you'll see is wheat rounds.
