AG exemption is the key to me. Keeping it.
Without the exemption tax will go way up.
You OP being a two year owner may have a little play time, but you will reach the point and the tax people will come out and look for the cows. They don't see them then you will get the nasty letter saying your're loosing your AG.
Takes 5 years of running cows to get it back.
Plus the taxes are real high during that time if you have a house on the property.
Last year I got the letter. Had to set up an appointment, drive and meet them on site. Honked the horn and here they came. I told the girl this is how you do it, not just drive down the CR and look.
Taxes remain about $3,000 on 256 acres.

For sure on keeping the AG exemption. I renewed it with the county last January (my first January to own the property) based on the fact that the neighbor with about three head of cattle continues to mow a separate 10 acres on the property for hay production. I made sure to take pictures of him mowing and then of the hay bales in my barn after he'd baled it. He's trying to get an exemption on his land based on a pasture he is cultivating and the cattle he has, and he told me it's a pretty long process.

I've been hunting on a place for about eight years and when we got on the place the landowner told us he was going to run cattle from February until September and then remove them before bow season starts, and it is in the lease agreement.
He has been true to his word, but from our experience he would put different cows into the pasture every year, and some of those cows during that time knew that feeders contain feed and we've had some cows knock down our feeders ruining them. We reinforced the legs with T posts but that doesn't keep them from congregating under the feeder waiting for it to go off.
Some of the first years the cows left them alone, but it only takes one that knows they can push them over, so my advise would be to fence them off if you run cattle.
Cattle have some advantages as they keep the tall weeds knocked down especially where you can't mow.

Its your land put in writing the dates they can put them on and when they must be removed. Charge a monthly rate per each momma. Write in their once they are of weaning age they either have to go or be charged a monthly rate. $25 a head per month should work. Hey, its your land and your terms.

Oh write in a maintenance schedule. Spraying, fertilizers, and fencing. You should provide a operable fence and roads though.

4 T posts and some wire will keep the cattle away from the feeder....

Dan, are the cattle on the property year-round, or just in the off-season?

Lease it until September.
