[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 726019, member: 7509"] Food for thought: grazing standing corn you can get at least 350 cowdays per acre in Iowa. Probably more like 400. So 10 acres will give you about 4000 cowdays. If you graze for 100 days (late Nov to March 1) that means 10 acres will support 40 cow equivalents all winter. The corn we are debating to harvest or not should be about 10 acres or less for anyone with "hobby" intents. I look at this as a way for a smaller operator to overwinter cattle with very little time and equipment. Again good luck with whatever system you choose for your needs. Jim [/QUOTE]
