[QUOTE="Scdeerhunter, post: 1456784, member: 30739"] I'm new here and new to cattle. I do not have any cattle right now but I'm trying to learn and get a few things figure out before I start. I've got some land that is like to put a few cattle on. 4-6 for family meat and a hobby, making any kind of money off them would just a bonus to me. I live in the Upstate of South Carolina where we have very mild winters and a long summer growing season. I would like some input on a "plan" I've come up with. I've put up 2 pictures of the potential pastures. 6 acres on one side and close to 3 on the other. My idea is to have the cattle graze the 6 or so acres in the spring/summer/early fall with maybe a bermuda/fescue mix and once that starts to go dormant move them to the 3 acres planted with.....rye??? Do you think this will work? If so, what would you plant on the 3 acres to graze in the winter? I figure I'll still have to supplement with SOME hay. And I'd probably use Brown top millet on the "winter field" as a cover crop if that matters.
