Most of us have too many cows.
I think a key in fescue country is to stock cows for the dormant season - - so you build stockpile during the growing season to greatly reduce wintering costs. This reduces cost per cow. Profit per acre is a different deal.
I think a key in snow country is to use sacrificial seasonal animals for the spring flush - - and winter the remainder on by products and residue to greatly reduce wintering costs. This reduces cost per cow. Profit per acre is a different deal.
