[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1717035, member: 1715"] Maybe. I ran the numbers this summer before I started selling pairs. Higher feed prices and a longer drought caused feeding period gets really really ugly. My operation would have negative cash flow, unless, I was gambling on $$$ 3 calves or a goverment bail out or big cow appreciation soon. So feeding (only) expensive hay is often a going out of business move. Most people have just not run the numbers yet. BTOs will buy a TMR and buy a semi - - committing to mixing a lower cost ration during the day and hauling in the dark, As Rydero pointed out this takes scale. [/QUOTE]
