[QUOTE="rc, post: 563933, member: 878"] For the last 4 years I have been working on building a small herd of mixed angus cows. So far I have 20 momma cows and one registared black angus bull, and 14 calves 350 to 500 ready to go to the sale. I have 2 good tractors, a john deere round baler and new case ih square baler along with a good rake and mower. I also have a 80 by 64 foot barn for hay storage. I have 75 acres of land, mostly in pasture that the cows are on but could be turned into very good hay ground. I'm dependant now on getting to cut off of others land and it's good mixed grass cow hay at best. My question I'm asking myself is whether I would be better off as a suplemental income (I work full time) to keep the cows and sell calves each year or sell the cows and bull and devote my land to hay. If I went the route of selling square hay I would have to buy an accumulator in order to get it up. Suggestions welcome and appreciated. I would sure miss the cows...... [/QUOTE]
