I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. If you have good fences everywhere it's good to include pasture in part of your crop rotation. Not yearly, but every few years. Splitting say an 80acre patch up into smaller pastures with hot wires and rotating the livestock around in the smaller pastures to let them grow back as they aren't used is ideal. Grazing is good for rebuilding topsoil if done right. You want to not let them eat everything down to the stub, but to trample some and eat some. Then after a few years change the whole setup out with a different field. In our case we will take a field that was crop and turn it to hayground, then a patch that was hayground to pasture, and then the previous pasture gets plowed and turned back to crop. This is if you have a full sized farm. If you are asking if it's worth it to buy land just for pasture, not likely. If you have a small herd and simply need a space for them, than buying a small patch of land so you can raise them is fine, but you will still be feeding them silage or hay, they won't be able to be sustained on just that small patch of land alone most likely. Well, I hope that answered something.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
