[QUOTE="ROB, post: 506522, member: 3467"] hayray- the last couple of years our hay has been short, barely enough to get the cows through the winter. and right now common hay is costing $50/bale and up. thats why i opt to feed the impact 44 mix. no hay required. right now we calve spring and fall. i'm planning on changing that over to a late spring calving season only - starting next year. i would like to begin calving late april or 1st of may and wean calves in late november. carrying cows through the winter with a fall calf is for the birds when you overstock you acres to begin with. i really don't see trimming much cost on the feedout stage - so i am concentrating efforts on the production/cow maintenance end. i do plan on growing my own corn this year instead of purchasing, but...thats going to introduce a new set of problems as i don't have the means to blend the feed if i keep it stored at home, and with as much corn as will be planted in our neck of the woods- i don't see much hope in storing it at town where it could be mixed. i just hope there will be a bridge to cross when i get there :lol2: ROB [/QUOTE]
