[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1770190, member: 1715"] Yes, the forage that wants to grow on your farm is usually the cheapest per acre. The issue for a grazer is how long does that low input forage last? Here it is cool season sod grasses that only grow well for a couple months, and do not stockpile... So, then you are comparing the cost of stored feed to the cost of introduced forage plants. Both are expensive for a beef cow. The root issue may be that you have the wrong class of livestock for your farm. [/QUOTE]
