[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 284793, member: 2653"] Deno, You should be far enough south to be able to plant ryegrass. That can really help you in late winter (February) when hay is running out. There is a feed place close to me that sells 12-18% protein feed for cattle at $80 per ton, sold in "super sacks". If one had the equipment, this would be a relatively cheap way. I figured ryegrass seed for 20 acres $400; fertilizer one time after a stand $400. If you took the same $800 you could buy 20,000 lbs of feed. I would have to drive an hour roundtrip with trailer to get feed, so add in that cost as well. Still doesn't seem too expensive if all else fails. [/QUOTE]
