[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1158497, member: 9096"] Actually, beef consumption has been pretty much flat since 1950, Pork consumption increased to a certain extent, but the only meat that has continued to increase in consumption is poultry. I saw this charted out for all sorts of commodities a while back, I can't remember the site, I'd have to find it but don't have time to search it now Those are pretty bad prices.. don't know how your dollar compares, but our diesel here is about 1.30/L. If you like the bull and you wouldn't get much for him now, you can consider this feed expense as "used up" this breeding season and not having much of a long term benefit. Your hay dounds expensive as well,.. It's about what I sell my hay for but I sell it to finnicky horse people. Oat hay is just fine, I was up til 4 am baling last night, cows don't LIKE it as much as lucerne (alfalfa right?) but they do fine on it, I'd say alfalfa hay would be better from a nutritional standpoint when you're trying to put weight on an animal.
