how much rain do y'all receive a year?
Comment from : Scotty Arellano

I’m assuming this ‘acres per cow” discussion is based on pure grazing and not contributing bales and/or grain to the herd

I live in northwest montana, we have 2 cow calf pairs, 14 goats and 3 pasture pigs, we have our property cross fenced for pasture, we can make enough hay for our animals and graze them on a little over 20 acres, depends on the year and location for how many acres per cow

Here in Minnesota our governor consider this the land of rocks and cows can cows eat rocks?
Comment from : Richard Mistic

What does that tell you? Don't raise cows where the grass doesn't grow!
Comment from : Greg Hackstaff

In MI I ran 4 cows on 2 acers all summer
Comment from : AMAFarm2022

The problem is that areas where grass grows year round is used for growing crops, so most of the land is already be ing used for crops Cattle can live in many places that many crops will not grow brThat is why people complaining about cows taking up that land in montana or other areas where crops just do not do well is ignorance brbrWhat would be interesting to see is the amount of edible food per acre comparison between crops and cattle

If I lived where I had that view - I would never get work done You've got the life!

Comment from : Austin Brawner

And price per acre doesn’t mean anything?
Comment from : Todd Kaime

I bet managing 500 cows on 500 acres is a lot easier than managing 250 on 2500 acres
Comment from : Henry C

Don’t come to Oklahoma and don’t think it’s all that because he says He doesn’t know There’s also a vast difference in East and West Oklahoma
Comment from : mtower235

The best place to raise anything is deep in the heart of Texas Using pasture rotation and the correct breeds of animals 25 acres should do You must be on your game And feed lot style supplemention is required You cannot just turn them loose to pasture, they must be rotated, fed, vaccinated and treated for all possible parasites
Comment from : WalterWJr

All of it Its free from the government
Comment from : Dustin Fenning

In Georgia 15 acres a Cow is more than adequate
Comment from : Ben Nunyour

Comment from : randyadams03

Comment from : 110 America Loving PATRIOT

There is no way in hell for it to be feasible to purchase land out west to run a cow/calf operation
Comment from : JK

If I remember correctly, here in North Carolina it's about one cow per acre We have lots of vegetation Some winters it doesn't snow at all, others we may see 15 or 18 inches at one time Whatever the weather or location, I love seeing cows grazing
Comment from : Angel Bulldog4

In ky it’s 2 pre lager animal like cow or horse
Comment from : Emaleigh’s Horses

One or two acres per cow in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia In the Valley and nearby valleys into West Virginia, Blue Ridge land, a lot of farming is growing hay for cattle out West
Comment from : David Benner

Drawback is drought
Comment from : R

I'm in the central valley of California Around here it's one animal unit per acre But you can no buy that kind of property and make a living And we have to irrigate Most people farm I'm lucky, my grandfather bought the pasture I use back in the 1940s Also, I was able to buy 20 acres in 1995 No snow here either But grass does slow down Especially with no rain
Comment from : Daniel Alamo

What brand of jacket are you sporting?
Comment from : Johnny Mnemonic

if the politics changed just a littlepeople would be going back to california
Comment from : Andrew Sparks

And that land belongs to taxpayers! Cattle ranchers lease it for almost nothing and think they own it! They don't want wolves or our wild horses on it, and the federal government supports them by removing horses and killing wolves!!! Wolves and horses on our land! Not cows!!
Comment from : Connie Wolf

Is this the cold start guy?
Comment from : Kurt Mcgurt

This is why I support BLM Bureau of Land Management
Comment from : j k

Don't forget to figure in land price or lease per acre Land is cheap in more arid locations, but takes more Pencil it out
Comment from : Matthew Heinze

With feeder calf prices where they are , you can't make a living unless you can run 10 cows per acre ! Because of extreme machinery prices and fertilizer cost and fuel costs the list goes on Only ones making money in beef business are packers and maybe , grocery stores !
Comment from : Tim Muenks

In South Carolina it a acre to 1-1/2 acres per cow on fescue and we usually get 3 solid cuttings per yeari have heard of 4 but it not that common
Comment from : Richard Lusk

Comment from : Jake

But I’m sure that the land costs a lot more per acre in those places
Comment from : Drew Jurgensmeyer

Comment from : Tom

Dude, even in Texas grass certainly does not grow year around It’s just that domesticated cattle do Not belong in Montana Such a stupid place to do cattle ranching
Comment from : Shane H

It’s ain’t grown here in Alabama since about October 20th so not sure what you are talking about, I landscape and farm here and have been putting out hay because the grass is done till spring
Comment from : Silent but Deadly

Florida would be perfect I had to cut the grass in the summer at least every 4 days to get the mower through it Sometimes it was every 3 days depending on rainfall
Comment from : Cmobley_ 7231

Right now in Tennessee the grass has stopped growing for the most part but in my area you need around 3-3 1/2 acres per cow
Comment from : Billy Parker

One acre per head in Oklahoma and Missouri I try to keep mine to two acres per head Gives me good separate pasture for my bull herd But I have a smaller operation than you I run around 145 to 160 on my Oklahoma 450 acres and about 600 head on my 1450 acres in Missouri I have another 1500 acres in western Oklahoma I own and I lease another 2 sections or 1280 acres I use my western Oklahoma place and lease for hay, wheat and milo But, at 73, bout ready to turn it over to my kids and retire
Comment from : MrBodyguard380

Protein content isn't the same in all grass Cattle can starve to death on belly deep grass
Comment from : Tumbleweed King

Tennessee is 2-3 acres depending on if it is flat or rocky
Comment from : Crystal Mungle

Depending on where in Idaho, you can get away with 10 per cow/calf pair
Comment from : Goose Gossage

Comment from : rod yates

That’s interesting statistics We own a 7000 acre ranch in coastal Northern California which is quite mountainous and we run 165 cow-calf (370 total)
Comment from : James Yates

Just kill off more wild horses and shoot all the wolves and coyote and you're good
Comment from : amy larson

Start grazing some buffalo Graze your livestock closed in a certain acreage Their hooves plow up the ground and the beetles and birds re plant the vegetation your cattle will eat This is proven in the plains of Serengeti Move them to another acreage and do same in a new season Altering their feeding grounds gives time for nurturing new growth Buffalo are a healthier and have better endurancesnd can more readily adapt to your surroundings in the winter

I lived around Eureka Montana for a spell, I dearly love the Rockies thereI live back in KY nowbrWe had two farms in Kentucky plus I had grazing rights on another farm toobrNow I'm retired, still live in the country , I'm seventy now
Comment from : Robert

I'm a former Okie The Sooner State has a WIDE variance of requirements for a cow/calf pair It's over 500 miles from McCurtain to Cimmaron Counties The latter, in the Panhandle's tail end (much of their land is school trust land and very trying for today's land lesees with a 5 year bid period!), generally requires nearly 40 acres because of the semi-desert, often dry climate and is over 4000' above sea level The former is in the southeast end, bordered by the Red River and SW Arkansas and is mostly lowlands under 500' above sea level with some mountains, so rain is way more plentiful Note though, there's been drought conditions earlier this year which affected that SE region, severe enough that many cattlemen had to sell portions or entire herds
