Grazing Cattle For 300 Days Out Of The Year?
Maybe someday. Have you ever dreamed of rotationally grazing cattle for 300 days out of the year? The Univerity of Arkansas has done just that, read more here...
Wow, what a great article! I work full-time on a cattle ranch here in Oklahoma and we do rotational grazing with our cow-calf pairs. We are pretty efficient with our grazing program here but we need to do more to get to the 300 day mark. We run approximately 200 mama cows on about 1200 acres. We also run about 100 head of yearlings, some heifers and bulls on the rest of our approx. 2000 acres.
That's awesome Joe. Keep us posted on your progress. It is always good to hear from real people thinking outside the box. We are not near that big, but I do hope to "get the hay out", at least for most of the year.
