Ok... lets clear this up.. I am not on here whining and wanting someone to pamper my a$$. I am looking for constructive opinions and ideas as to how to approach and deal with this. My kneejerk reaction is to tell him to take him and his cattle and get the hell off.
1. I don't have an issue with the price per acre. I DO have an issue with the management of the pastures as he has only come out twice to look at the cows. So as far as trusting him, I have doubts. The real doubts come from the other peolple renting out their pastures who have lived and farmed/ranched out here all their lives. The opinions I am hearing from people that know him are "He should know better than that" and "he is really overcrowding the pastures". This from the guy 5 minutes up the road.
2. Cattle population in YOUR area is going to be different from MY area.
I want to be diplomatic but not get screwed OR be unfair. THAT is what I am talking about. Not sympathy. This land was SERIOUSLY overgrazed in the past 6 or 7 years (bare ground from what I have been told). I will NOT allow that.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
