[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 572840, member: 3739"] Are you saying that the pasture produced 23 LRB's per year or 23 LRBs over two years in total? Because if its the first, then 5 steers on 15 acres may not be enough, even if it is just a start. Unless you subdivide the pasture into 15 paddocks (1 paddock/acre), you'll still have lots of forage left over. See I'm guessing 15 acres on decent quality forage can hold ~1 AU/acre or 15 cows with calves per acre. Which means you can have up to 22 head of feeder steers at the most on that amount of land, to utilize all/most of the forage in a grazing season. However, if its the latter (23 LRB's over two years) that cuts down your stocking rate by half, like skyline mentioned. [/QUOTE]
