[QUOTE="chippie, post: 756833, member: 5644"] You really need to talk to someone where you live about the stocking rate per acre. The more land / grass that you have the better. The less feed and hay that you buy, the more money you will make when you sell the cattle. Diesel Beef is saying, that if you have to buy feed and hay to finish the steers, you will have a lot of money invested and you may sell at a loss. When all of your grass disappears and you have to buy feed (grain) and hay, your steers may be costing you several dollars per day per head to feed. Don't forget to include your pasture rent into the cost per animal equation too. How much does a beef feed cost you per 100 lbs? How much is your hay costing you? Figure that the amount that you are feeding will increase as the animals get older. Can you rent about 40 acres or so? [/QUOTE]
