[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1201102, member: 498"] I am a little north of you and I run about one cow per 2 or 3 acres depending on the year. As a very young kid my folks had a place that was 2 1/2 acres. They bought one steer in the spring and butchered it in the fall. With a little rotational grazing the steer had enough grass but there was never enough extra to cut any hay. The soil survey says that on a Newberg loam (one of the best soils in the valley) with perfect management and weather conditions you can achieve 13 AUM's per acre. The problem is that the vast majority of that grass growth (probably 70%) will occur in April, May, and June. So how do you manage that to have feed year around? [/QUOTE]
