[QUOTE="poorfarmer, post: 1313020, member: 21638"] Let me start off by saying that I am at the max or maybe even overstocked for the year but early when the grass is growing here´s where I am at. I will have a stocking rate of 1.5 pairs per acre from Middle of April or early May until about middle of July or early August depending on rain, but I need that rate to keep the grass from becoming to mature. I cut my first cutting hay as early as the weather allows in my area and then the second growth hay will be worked into the rotation as fescue growth slows. The hay ground will double the amount of acres per pair. I dry lot my cows from mid-november through mid april. I am stocked to high to graze into winter and when it get sloppy and nasty I don´t want my pastures torn up so they are coming in. I think in my area if I wanted to let them out during the winter months, I would have to be at about 1 cow per 4 acres or I would have a mess. [/QUOTE]
