We had a speaker this winter who advocated more heifer retention. Basic idea was to retain more heifers and pay less income tax to increase net worth. An assumption was that better pasture management and hard cull'in would profitably absorb the herd increase without controlling more land. More cattle (density) = more grass = more gain per acre...
I realize that April 15th is a little late for last years heifer calf IRA, but I did ran some forage what ifs for future years. It looks like I could add up to 45 more pairs if I cut back on $3/bu grain production. :cboy: What do you think?
