[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1033923, member: 14713"] "Here" it takes 30 acres to support a cow/calf pair, aka AUM for a year. For summer pasture purposes, I figure roughly 10 acres per pair for a standard 150 summer grazing season. This season, neighbors are running 66 pairs + bulls on my 840 acres of summer pasture. Usually only 60 cows but took a few more in this year. Pairs put in June 1, calves will be taken home in late Nov. Cows will stay until late Dec if grass and weather allow. I leave it up to the neighbor when he decides it's no longer worth it. When real cold sets in, he has to drive about 10 miles to chop ice and starts caking. If the snow gets deep, pasture can be tough to get to and protection is limited. My :2cents: about this area of western SD. The stocking rate of course varies a lot from one region and state to the next. [/QUOTE]
