[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 928920, member: 8973"] I have a farming background and I apply that to what I do regarding my cattle. There is something I do not understand regarding the cattle breeds promoted by many people posting their choices. I know for example that I cannot grow per acre the number of bushels of corn here as can be grown in say Illinois. Therefore I would fertilizer for what I can produce in a crop and still have a profit. I see the same thing with cattle. I just stated in another post that I do not supplement forages with grain. I know what I can produce here with my cattle and not add input costs that would increase my cost of production. With large frame cows and heavy milking cows that must eat more to maintain themselves and produce the calves being recommended how can you make a decent return per acre? Thanks [/QUOTE]
