[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1729031, member: 40587"] Watching a video by a boy yesterday..forget his name., He was a Texan that moved to Oregon 15 years ago, and started a ranch, ran it and managed it Texas style, and just sold it turn key....horses ,equipment cattle and all. This video, he had moved back to Texas, and was starting another from scratch. I had watched his video he made last week when he was going to look at some horses to buy. He gets everything else in place before he buys the first cow. Anyhow, in his video yesterday he was waiting on the herd of cattle he had bought.. 3 trailer loads, And guess what they were?!!! Corrientes! He said he believes in utilizing grass, and buys NOTHING for coiws to eat. No grain, no hay, no seed for grain, no hay equipment, no fertilizer for hay. no wormer, vaccs, minerals etc. He said every $1 you spend for them to eat, is a $1` you have lost. The way to do this, he says, is to get the breed and type of cattle that can maximize the grass you have on that place. He breeds Brangus bulls to Corrs, and sells most of his calves direct at weaning. Or to consumers for grass-fed beef. Low cost cows, zero to almost zero inputs, and you make a hell of a lot more money even if the calves buying $1 when then the top sellers bring $2. He does rotational grazing and stock piles winter grass..no hay. [/QUOTE]
