[QUOTE="JParrott, post: 1575716, member: 37914"] I want to preface this with "I could be wrong". Assigned costs per acre / number of head * stocking rate / 365 = daily pasture charge. As an example - say it's $200 an acre per year in fertilizer, lime, and seed. Divide that $200 into the number of head of cattle you run (say 50) and that gives you a dollar amount of $4. Multiply that times the stocking rate you run (number of acres per cow or pair) - in northern Missouri make it 2.5 - and that equals $10. Divide that by 365 days and it costs about $0.03 a day per cow to live on that pasture. Your assigned costs to the pasture are up to you to determine and I assume will probably include more than just fertilizer, lime, and seed. Grandpa and Dad both told me not to be a cattle rancher. They told me to be a grass farmer and harvest it with cattle. [/QUOTE]
