My cousin the other day told me that he has 50 acres of irrigated permanant pasture I could have for free. (cuz we're family and all) Nothing has been on it for about 6 months and its got grass up to my knees almost. My cattle wont be out of the hills till June to go over there. My question is would it make sense to go make hay right now for $40/ton and then get the water back on it so as to be ready for June? Also, would running hot wires to section off pieces for rotational grazing be a good idea? I'm just trying to figure out how I can make this free piece as profitable as possible. Over here we run 1 pr. for every 1-1.5 ac. if its irrigated. My cows are due to calf starting in August. Any game plans would be appreciated
