[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 579713, member: 4362"] What the old timers did here long ago was to let the cows fend for themselves. They would turn them in the woods and let them forage on whatever they could find. Once a year they would gather the animals up and sell whatever was big enough to sell. No controlled breeding season, no fertilizer, no fences, no vet bills, no pushing the pencil to maximize gain. Just took what the year gave them. Applying this to my situation would be hard but I could see my input cost drop considerably if I dropped my stocking rate. [/QUOTE]
