[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 722669, member: 5898"] Why do I think alot of cows are supplemented-because they are!!! I usually A'I a coiuple thousand cows a year and am a field man for a big livestock co-op-on weekends I pack cowboys to rodeos from Saskatchewan to New Mexico-I have a bad habit of looking around in my travels-alot of creep feeders in grain troughs no matter where you go. I have nothing against feedlot cattle-we send our own to be custom fed-I do have a problem with cows that need a little help. As to the two jobs quote-I bet if we all look at our enterprise records-our Cost of production goes up in high income years. I had a big arguement with an extension guy about it till he checked their COP studies. After a few lean years we tend to raise our fixed costs by 'rewarding ' our perserverance with some new iron etc and we tend to treat our cows a bit kinder. In our country alot of cattle are raised to save on income tax-which is fine but they really don't care about what it costs to raise them. [/QUOTE]
