[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1482761, member: 9096"] If you make your own hay, and stock what you can stock, then in the winters we have here you're always going to be feeding hay or you're going to be terribly understocked in the growing season. The cost of making hay rarely varies by much, the cost of it is mostly determined by demand (serious droughts ignored). I'm of the opinion that as long as a cow produces average or better calves, she gets to stay.. there must be something good about her and I might want a bunch more daughters.. My old granny I only kept one calf before she got to 10 years old, her 14th-16th calves I kept and are great... I'm willing to write off the value of the cow (bury her) if I get more, better calves... evidently this is the exception not the rule though. Steve, I've had single cuts where I've made that much or more per acre.. I've pulled 700x 80 lb bales off 6 acres in a cut.. unfortunately again, the exception not the rule.. [/QUOTE]
