[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 743286, member: 9219"] Depending on how many head you have you could potentially have to mow all the time. 500 acres here south of Houston grows FAST. I am in Houston area as well, and I kept my 44 head on 68 acres, and that was plenty for them. The remaining 700 acres I either mowed, or allowed my neighbor to graze to keep down. I would strongly suggest getting enough cattle to cut the cost of mowing if you can afford it. Mowing takes time, wears on your equipment, and has no value to you. If you can get someone to make hay on your excess on a contract deal, they come make the hay, and you keep 40% they keep 60% that could be a good deal for you. Then you only have to get a fertilizer buggy and run the fields once and make a phone call. When we got our place it was in pretty rough shape, and its taken 3 years to get 568 of the 768 acres into control. It will take another 3 for the remaining 200 because its much worse off. [/QUOTE]
