[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 674647, member: 10970"] 2 acres can handle 12 pair all summer "limit grazed" -- we dont waste forage and just leave them on it all day and night.. A pair can meet their nutritional requirement in a few hours on Millet vs (Not even close on Unfertilized Bahia or fertilized Bermuda) that is the whole point to save money and increase profits! Millet is cheaper to maintain, requires less water, requires less fertilizer, has a higher stocking rate and has much higher nutritional value..... and yes we can put out 50 units of N for $35/ acre Bermuda needs: more fertilizer, more water, has a lower stocking rate and has far less a nutritional value. Bermuda needs a 75-40-60 in April and another 75 N in July and costs yes $250 per acre over the period btw April and Labor day. I will just continue to plant millet and run 6 pair per acre on it "limit grazed" every summer for $11.00/pr and yall can continue to pay through the nose for fertilizing a nutritionally inferior Bermuda for $186/pr [/QUOTE]
