[QUOTE="skyline, post: 572457, member: 5305"] Assuming 180 days, 25 pounds of forage per day, large rounds at 1100 lbs per roll, small squares at 75 lbs per bale, that is equal to grazing forage for 11 head for 180 days. A dry summer would lower than number significantly. 5 head would be a good starting point for the first summer, and adjust over the coming years as you get your system down better. Adding 200 pounds per head over this period seems like a reasonable goal to me. What kind of grass do you have? I'll be interested to hear what the more experienced stocker folks on here think of your plan. I may have missed something. [/QUOTE]
