Has anybody every heard of or put any thought in to varying the size or type of cattle you run based on whether you own the land/pay a flat rate, or if you pay on a per head per day basis while on pasture? I'm not trying to beat the dead horse, but it goes along with the conversation of being able to run more cows on less ground if you have smaller framed cows. This, as we all know, allows us to spread more production over a fixed cost, as long as we own the land or are paying a flat rate/acre for lease. Putting a term to it the goal is to wean more pounds per acre in this scenario.
If we are leasing on a per pair per day basis (like most everybody does in my part of the country), should we be thinking more about weaning more pounds per pair rather than the aforementioned more pounds per acre?
