[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 928209, member: 8973"] xbred If profit is your reason for having cattle you need to consider going to intensive rotational grazing. I run ~100 commercial beef broodcows and I feed their calves until sold as feeder calves for 365 days per year on 141 ares. Hay is fed only in drought conditions, twice in the last 12 years. I buy no commercial fertilizer and I do not spray herbicides on the pasture grazed areas. I do use chicken litter to fertilizer 20% of the farm each year. That is all the litter that I have access to. My purchased inputs consist of diesel fuel, some seed, equipment maintenance, minerals and some wormer and fly treatment. [/QUOTE]
