[QUOTE="Central Fl Cracker, post: 555406, member: 1921"] This has been my argument for 2 years on lowering my stocking rate. My lease and fertilizer cost are a constant expense of $ 60 per ac. for 135ac. So if I run 50 pairs that equates to $162 per pair and if I lower my stocking rate to 35 pairs that equates to $ 231 per pair hard cost. My variable cost of course is hay, mollasses and minerals for the winter which will vary on how many cows I have on the pasture. I am considering adding feeder calves that match the weight of my current calf crop if we keep getting rain. :dunce: [/QUOTE]
