[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1588996, member: 37967"] Sorry about the confusion. They are on 3.5 acres in the morning, and 3.5 a night. Any way you slice it, 24 head on 3.5 acres is not common. Of course, our topsoil in that whole area can go 5 feet deep or more and it's had cattle manure building it up since the 60's. It's in a valley, and the grass grows aggressively in the area. The two lots are seeded 20-30 pounds an acre each spring with Orchard grass, Timothy, Rye grass, Fescue, white and red clover. The take it to the ground and it keeps coming back strong. I keep them there all summer long because there is so much shade around. Again, TT and BR stood in the middle of it, and can attest that what I say is correct, I'm not pulling anyone's leg. None of the cattle are complaining about their setup. There are other farms near me that have 100 acres or more like that in a river bottom, that if seeded could raise an insane amount of cattle per acre. They raise tobacco or other crops instead.
