for clarification the 3 acres would be for summertime grazing, they would get a feed ration in the summer, and be locked in a separate yard during the winter getting the feed ration and hay. This is the way the ffa does it, except their pasture is only about 1 acre and they have 10 cows and calves on it during the summer, while being locked in the yard during the winter. while i am only going to have a few the first year and at max 6 or 7 cow calf pairs.
i was under the assumption that this sort of a system would work very well, i know 3 acres isnt a whole lot but it seems to work well for the ffa. i am now wondering if the only reason it works for them is because of the donations they get and the fact that they get feed at a large discount. the calves would obviously get sold after weaning with only the mommas being on the farm full time.
by the way i am in NW iowa for those wondering
