[QUOTE="Gate Opener, post: 423978, member: 4032"] I have been thinking along those lines also. I am still trying to figure some of it out. Pastures, is it worth it to have pristine coastal pastures? Lot of expense getting rid of what is there and sprigging, fert., etc.. Around here we try to get rid of Bahia. Should we, or should we just stick with Bahia and native grasses? I try my best to stay out of the vets office. Never seem to get out of there for less than $100 no matter what it is. Yes, I know about having a relationship with the vet. I don't mind if the cow looses a little condition when she has the calf on her as long as she is healthy and picks it back up after weaning. Some of the ones that do that raise really good calves. It would certainly be better if they could do both. Can't see doing a c-section on a commercial cow. I fed creep for a couple of months one time. I kept thinking, I don't know how this is going to pay off, I stopped feeding it. I found it is better to sell them right off of mama. Where I tend to loose is in the buying process. Still making mistakes there. One of these days. :roll: [/QUOTE]
