Terminate the stand by going through a season or two of annuals, and then replant to a high-quality perennial pasture mix. As time and money allow, install a watering system, good perimeter fences, and subdivide it into about four paddocks.
The goal would be to keep my options open; to either cut hay off of it myself, run stockers on it, or rent it out for either use. By not subdividing too tightly, I could keep it usable for hay. But still have the fences and waterers in place so it can be usable for cattle.
I like the above idea - - - except - - - I would hook up the watering system so its one point and then have no permanent paddocks just a great perimeter fence and use temporary fence for paddocks and everything leading to that watering point.
That's easier for haying and only 4 paddocks is controlled over grazing - - - you need at least 8 or 9 so you have enough rest time before regrazing. |
If you had 75 acres of grass…
