I'm about to give up.

It keeps raining. The grass keeps growing. The calves are getting cheaper...I'm about to hop back in. I know the futures are down but I hate to waste this grass.

If prices keep dropping just think of your tax savings

I'll bet my hat that grass will be dry in month. Maybe look into some skinny fall calving cows.

Send some of that rain and cheap calves my way!
I'll deal with a few more....

I don't think I have ever seen grass wasted. I would rather have extra grass than not enough.

What size hat? . I'll take that bet. I've never seen that quality of grass on the other side of Briggs. It'll still be green in 25 days!

I'm dumb. I'm going to get some nice young heifers and feed em and breed em.

Have you considered a 3rd option :?: If you've got extra grass but no cattle to put on it and are hesistant to pull the trigger and buy your own cattle, why not take in some cattle for summer :?:

There are always people looking for pasture. Sure seems I always have someone pestering me :roll: Whether they are someone you want to deal with, now that is another question entirely :roll:

I'm getting $35/pair/month this year from my long-time renter who keeps the fence up. Stopping in to pick up my first check today. I need to give him a break on the first month or buy him some posts because he has replaced 3 fence corners before turn-in. I might just go get a bundle of ties and leave on the trailer at his place.

Monthly pasture bill is paid in advance while calves are on cows. After calves leave at weaning, depending on remaining grass and weather might go to Christmas, same price paid but at end of month.
