This is highly dependent on your location, forage quantity and quality, soil type, and terrain. Some areas may have a lower stocking rate than others. For instance, in Nevada, you may be lucky to be able to graze a cow-calf pair on 10 acres of pasture per week. In North Carolina, however, you will more than likely be able to graze a pair on 1 acre of pasture per month.

How does the hay making process preserve pasture?
If you have too much pasture and not enough animals to graze that pasture, you may end up with pasture that is overgrown or too far in a certain vegetative stage to be suitable for grazing for the animals you have. Thus taking hay off of that pasture will encourage grasses to regrow and thus allow your animals to graze that pasture while the others have a chance to rest--that is, once the grasses have grown back at a suitable height to be grazable again. Hay itself is also a good stand-by should pastures face drought or are too wet to have animals graze on. It allows animals to be fed in an alternate means while giving pastures to rest, to regrow and/or dry up, respectively.
