[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1530182, member: 14585"] IF you can feed 36 hd for 102 days for under $3000 then it should be a no brainer. 1300 lb cow x 2.5% = 32.5 lbs of dry matter or 37 lbs as fed with 7.5% waste = 40 lbs hd Oct 20-31 = 11 days with 4 tons of pasture foraging = 40 lbs per hd/day Assuming for some reason 4 tons of pasture grass is of no value to you...... Nov 1 - Jan 31 = 92 days 36 hd x 92 days x 40 lbs hd = 132,480 lbs = 66.24 ton @ $45 ton = $2980 $35 ton = 1,000 lb hay bale delivered to cows for $17.50 bale $45 ton = 1,000 lb hay bale delivered to cows for $22.50 bale $60 ton = 1,000 lb bale delivered to cows for $30 bale $35 ton = $2318 = 580 calf $45 ton = $2980 = 745 calf $60 ton = $3,974 = 993 calf You seem to think you can feed the man's cows for less than $2,000 Makes me wonder if he isn't afraid his cows will be 1/2 starved to death by the end of January by his partner feeding them on crap hay or wheat straw.
