[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1386300, member: 1715"] 1) I don't know how to creep up on cow numbers in a chaotic world, and I am not a great market timer. Since we have a huge spring flush in the snow country, and folks are currently begging me to buy their hay, it is very tempting to stock heavy... I think I would be better off long term to level cow numbers against some sweet % of average forage production. Then try to ignore the cow equity swing. :hide: 2) If trampling grass bothers you - - back fill the pasture with price protected deplorable disposables. They leave in August during an average year. They leave in June during a tough year. Right now I have all my 2016 heifers... 3) In a really really tough year you sell all your sucking calves in September. So I would reform my evil sales barn ways, and not buy back cows, but rather trying to let winner (calve)s run. [/QUOTE]
