[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 765671, member: 8973"] cowboy43 I live in zone 7 and do year round rotational grazing. My costs for hay is zero. I do not use commercial fertilizer. Some overseeding is done as insurance for backup forage. Typically my seed costs is less than $500 and my fuel expenses for seeding only is just a few dollars as I use a 20 year old ATV to broadcast the seed (Marshall ryegrass). There are 93 mature animals in the herd at this time. More animals could be stocked but I like to have some margin of surplus feed because of weather fluctuations. I can usually carry a cow and her calf for 365 days on 1.2 acres. The calf will be marketed during the period and the cow rebred. Rebreeding usually within 50 to 60 days of giving birth. [/QUOTE]
