[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1044374, member: 2905"] I have coastal and hate it for stockers but it is what the place had when we bought it. Have heard good things about some of the old world bluestems and they can produce without fertilizer. Like BC says, coastal gains are not good without supplement. Have found it more profitable to grow stockers without coastal pasture, just feeding a byproduct mix of corn gluten, soy hulls and cottonseed hulls. Plus the grass/fertilizer combo is totally rain dependent, whereas the feed truck can run rain or shine. This allowed me to buy cheap stockers in the summer of 2011 when no one had grass and other times when the price is right. Just another 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
