[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 308687, member: 2705"] Myself being in a snow climate i see alot of people make wintering mistakes, for example. If Henry has adequate summer range for 300 cows for 5 months he puts 320 on it for 4 1/2 months then brings them home and feeds them hay which is free because he grows his own. all is well because it only cost him 150 a year to run his cattle yet he still goes broke with 500 calves. Same range would hold 200 cows for 9 months and then he could run them on his hayfield aftermath and only feed minimal hay selling the excess for greenbacks, spending less diesel feeding cows all spring fall and winter much less in debt load or tied up capital (depending) due to the 120 less cows and an actual profit instead of a percieved one. More is often less [/QUOTE]
