What is everyone paying an acre for renting pasture land? Good pasture with good fence good fescue grass, is $45 an acre to much?
What do you mean AU per acre? Whats AU stand for? Animal Units? If so were at about 1 AU/per acre.Isomade":3d2hn3p1 said:For as long as your grazing season is, and the AU per acre you can carry its probably fine. If it will carry 1AU/2Ac then it should be fine.

SL There are plenty of trees for shade and probably 10 acres worth of ponds. Its flat no hills and as far as I know it has always been cleared and been in pasture for 30yrs probably. Its $45 an acre pay monthly or yearly. Will rent this year and if everything goes well will lease for 4 years at a time. Thanks!Sir Loin":2qkqh1xo said:LHB,
OK!
Shelter ? I will assume there are some trees for shad in the summer. ( would be better if they had a pond to get in to cool odd.
Is it hilly so they can get out of the wind on rainy days and under trees?
How long has the land been cleared?
What are the terms?
Will you pay yearly or monthly?
Will you have a sign lease? How long?
Or will you be a yearly renter?

266 total acres has working facilities for cattle, no buildings, has fresh town water in every pasture(which is free I dont have to pay for)

Re:

Now about a lease if things work out.
Look into a "first right of refusal" if the owner should decides to sell.
Google " real estate, first right of refusal" and you should be able to find a good explanation.
Also look into a possible "lease purchase" lease, where a portion of your rent goes towards the purchase price should you decide to buy it.
IMO this could be a " terms make it or break it" deal.
As for $45 per ac, at least try for better terms, but I would do it, as its for only 1 year and you can walk away if that nut is too hard to crack.
Best of luck
