[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 743198, member: 3175"] 350, 700 lb round bales and 1000 square bales, cost me 2 halves of beef and 7 cases of FFA fruit last year out of pocket. My son sold 50 of them to compensate him for running the baler. We still have 150 left at this time and 500 square bales. Most all of the Hay was fed to the small stuff, bulls, his horse and the bred heifers. The cows have had 20 of those round bales to this point. They are home now and will probably get a good share of the rest before pasture turn out. The hay came from 20 acres here, and 125 acres, here there and everywhere for free, except for the 60 acres that I traded beef for. That was all 1 cutting except for home. I just ask people with lots if they would like me to mow it and bale it to keep the grass down and most people say yes. Pasture rent was .33 per head per day. Cornstalks from Thanksgiving to March 1st was also .33 per head per day. 5 lbs of ddgs added .15 per head per day for the month of February. I come up with about $200 per head with minerals, and bearings and belts and fuel and twine and vaccines and tags, of course that is not counting depreciation and all of the overhead. [/QUOTE]
