[QUOTE="Jake, post: 19261, member: 4"] I'd personally plant about 15-25 acres of your tillable land to pasture grass. What type depends on your soil type, region and such. Check with your local extension office for stocking rates and grass types. As for stock if you start of with 500 to 600 pound heifers, breed them and sell them as bred heifers it will allow a beginner such as yourself not to have to winter your cattle the first few years. Once you start getting the hang of it and show the wife you can make ends meet with the project you could start retaining cattle yearound and make it a cow-calf operation. Best of Luck Jake [/QUOTE]
