[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 642932, member: 7795"] Probably going to continue on plans to implement better recycling of nutrients. It is about the last thing I have to focus on. Thanks to the weather conditions and cattle prices for keeping me focused this way. 1 Reduce number in herd to lessen pasture and hay needs. 2 Production of hay for sale greatly reduced, near zero. 3 Unrolling hay as needed when feeding and weather allows, to spread waste over greater area. 4 Better establishment of clovers in pastures without clover. Expected results = Reduced income from sales of fewer animals and hay to be offset by reduced expense outlay and less risk to reward ratios. Logic = [b]If[/b] one could clear $100 a head on a per head basis, reducing numbers from 100 down to 75 and keeping the same profit margins would decrease total profit from $10,000 down to $7,500. Hardly a change that would be detriment to ones financial stability. No one with operations of this size is living off the profits anyway. Making a lot of money (enough to live on) from small operations is not going to happen. Does not make economical sense to put more effort into greater risks without greater rewards in return.
