[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1178799, member: 9096"] I would want mine to be separated from the other cows, as there may be a little cleanup breeding left, I haven't spoken to the people yet, met the new managers once (owners are rich folk from Seattle), I think the owners don't care for a profit, as long as the ranch pays its way. Manager and his wife seem like fairly nice folk, though a little wet behind the ears yet, All the cows were already on the ranch, it's been a fairly closed herd for the last 10 years or so. As for handling facilities, there is a squeeze and a chute, as well as a mobile chute. If I pencil it out for 20 head and $1/day/pair, it's $600/month = $7200/year, if the calves of 20 cows currently bring about $24,000, I'd say i'm doing fairly well. If a pair eats a half a bale a day (they certainly do) here, and I can sell second cut for $8/bale, I think it pencils out well that way too... If I were feeding $25 rolls it may look a little different. Around here last I checked (a LONG time ago), grazing leases on public lands were $2.50/pair per MONTH... pretty hard to not make money on that unless you have huge losses to wolves or something.
