[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1482707, member: 1715"] Ya - - hay is evil :devil2: and you should yield more than 5 bales worth of forage from 8 acres. One of Kit' points is that many producers are overstocked and this contributes to a lot of hay feeding. This is true, but the short term optimum depends on feed and labor and beef prices. True believers skip the math and just state that feed prices will go up some day so -- hay is evil. Pretty hard for non traders to expand and contract a cow herd quickly due to pricing volitility. So we need to consider some short term cattle. Sounds like Jim has some. Pasturing stockers or yearling breeding stock or cull cows can work well during the spring flush. [/QUOTE]
