[QUOTE="dun, post: 378761, member: 34"] Start with 27 and and smaller paddocks. It's a learning curve to figure out the grass and the grazing rotation. But those can;t be graven in stone because each year will be different. I learned a long time ago to understock some. In normal years it's easy to expand too much too rapidly. A couple of years of drought, then the recovery time for the forage after you start getting adequate rainfall makes me glad wwe don;t stock at the full rate that we could. We lease out one hay field/pasture after first cutting to the vet for his bred cows. They're there for a couple of months then they come off, it rests for a while then we either stockpile it for winter or turn our cows into it. We tried running stockers to take care of the spring flush, whihcc we haven;t had for a couple of years now, and the upfront dollars would have broken the bank. dun [/QUOTE]
