[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1728086, member: 8359"] Holy Mackerel that's high isn't it? You're in east Texas...should be more forage there. Winter's are light here. Are you running enough acreage per cow? Standing cow for me per year for feed is around $150., my labor is free. ..and I'm being overly generous, with the cubes and corn hay...leaving lots of winter stockpile forage uneaten. I'm going to try start bringing that amount down to around $90. per head. I don't have any steel equipment costs, fuel to speak of....big round corn hay ($30.) is on the way to the ranch 7 miles away. My biggest headache is lambs-quarter...a nightmare. This year I'm going to get tough with my cattle...and force them to eat the young lambs-quarter (less toxic) before I start having to mow in the cattle field. I'm going to look awful stupid mowing in a cattle field but I have to. [/QUOTE]
