[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1472554, member: 31518"] Welcome to the board! Here is an article from the University of Missouri Extension that explains how many pounds of forage a cow needs. [url=http://agebb.missouri.edu/news/ext/showall.asp?story_num=5292]http://agebb.missouri.edu/news/ext/show ... y_num=5292[/url] You need to look at many factors, such as breed of cattle, what is the quality level of your pasture, how many acres do you have for grazing, will you use irrigation, will you produce or buy hay, and other factors. You also need to consider that some years there will be plenty of rain and some years are dry. My suggestion is be conservative with the number of cows you have on pasture. If you find that you can feed more cattle, keep heifers or buy more to add to your herd. [/QUOTE]
