[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 853390, member: 694"] No joke on winter pasture if we could get some rain. I was penciling it out 500 pound calf's are going to have to bring .94 a pound for a cow to break even. Having to start feeding in July has got cow cost up to 470 dollars a cow this is figureing in winter pasture seed. I have got that seed price locked in. Feeding cotton seed hulls and corn gluetin at 210 a ton to minimize hay loss. These numbers are good till October if I have to keep feeding out of super sacks to supplement hay. I figure I will have to feed hay till May to let pastures recover. I am actually thinking on containing them in a 15 acre pasture as a sacrifice pasture and carry them totally on hay until I can get winter pasture up. Pull them again to the sacrifice pasture when warm season grass starts and let it get well established and recovered before putting the cows back on it. Problem has become heat and maintaining BCS. Have to hold BCS or it will raise the cost trying to hold them through the winter. My head hurt's. [/QUOTE]
