[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 1145530, member: 8677"] She looks like she is in the 5.5 bcs area. Is she mature, or how old is she? If you wanna figure which is most efficient you're gonna have to set some standards. Do you want to maximize beef production per acre per year or per cow per year? How much does cow weight affect your stocking rates and winter feed costs? Home raised feed or purchased feed? Owned pasture or rented pasture or what method will you base land cost on? Winter feed costs and land costs are huge factors. Where I used to live, in northeast Nebraska we ran a pAir per acre and that land is selling for $9000/acre. Here in Kansas we run 1 pair per 6 acres and lands bringing $2000 per acre. It's gonna depend on land values in your area and feed availability. [/QUOTE]
