Good article.

Interesting highlights:

Sorted on net return per cow-calf pair, the low 20 percent spent more on total feed ($292.59), with 29 percent ($85.08) of the bill attributed to pasture costs. The middle 40 percent to 60 percent spent $256.95, with 35 percent ($89.96) of the total feed bill attributed to pasture costs.

The assignment of a value to pasture is important and relevant to the analysis of the total operation. The costs do influence the bottom line of cattle operations.

These numbers are not all based on market demand because not all producers are actively bidding for pasture. Some are assigning a value to their own pasture.

An exact cost conclusion is difficult, but cow-calf producers are focused on pasture and range production. This was the second priority for producers, as documented in the publication "Priorities First: Identifying Management Priorities in the Commercial Cow-Calf Business,"

What is interesting, when it comes to pasture and range, is that the stocking rate was the highest ranking subcategory, followed closely by timing and duration of grazing. Monitoring cattle performance and plant species ranked considerably lower than the first two subcategories.

I see nothing in that article I disagree with.
