[QUOTE="Bluseals, post: 1642798, member: 40708"] I was told that being brand new, Cow/Calf were harder to start with or much more involved due to births and suck. So starting with stockers would let me get the basics down before moving on to Cow/Calfs. I have a contact at Purdue that is great with advice but is extremely busy. Also, I like to get advice from several different people to see what the consensus is. Just this question alone has yielded several different views and answers... My winter months I plan to feed round bale hay. Now as for the rotation part of my question: on my 80 acres lets say I go with 16 Angus stockers...How many different areas should I break the 80 Acres into? Do you break it up into 2 40 acres and rotate them back and forth every couple of days? Please remember I am extremely green and understand that some of my questions might sound silly or odd to people that are veterans to raising cattle. I just want to gain the most accurate advice before beginning operations next year. Thanks for the wonderful advice so far!! [/QUOTE]
