Originally posted by squirrel View PostIts 100 acres and right now its 9 heifers, and 1 bull, but he just sold off I think 8 calves. Its an older guy so I am compassionate to an extent, but I think that effects his thoughts on future leasing opportunities. I have documented correspondence, just looking for what levers I can pull. I thought the water was pretty reasonable (there is still a large tank) versus say taking my gates off for repairs.
What county is your pasture in?

did he sell off the cows too and get replacements heifers? seems like 100 acres should support 10 animals with an occasional round bale and cubes

But yes, he said 9 heifers so not sure,
Either way 100 acres East of Dallas should be able to support that
Even without the supplement hay
If OP thinks cattleman is overgrazing I wonder how many head OP thinks this 100 acres can hold?
