I won't touch on too much but here's something else to ponder on... lol
While we may get 200 inches of snowfall and -40 temps, our summers are temperate and rainfall is abundant. 90-100 degree temps are unusual and only occur ever few years. Our grass grows quick and recovers quick. The cows don't have to deal with extreme heat and drought stress. From what I've seen on here and what some buyers have told me we put more weight on a calf compared to the south (ie more profit). Wean and sell more lbs you make more, offsetting winter feeding costs.
