[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1813526, member: 498"] I quit making hay in 1998. I bought hay. I hauled a lot of it home. But I grazed every acre I controled. Things are different here. It works out well for me but it is doubtful it would fit into anyone circumstances here so I won't go into those details. The few things I bought new I did before I retired and did with profits from the cows. They kept me from paying taxes on cow income and I got things which I would never have to replace after retirement. It has been a long time since I ran a year after year cow/calf operation. I seriously study the market and consider what I can buy right and improve to increase the sale price. I have done locker beef, stocker heifers and steers seperately, the broken mouth cow deal, purchased yearling heifers and bred them selling them in the fall, and I have bought under priced bulls working them to sell as steers. Feeding over the winter is the highest expense where I live so I try not to own cattle over the entire winter. But I do buy in the late winter before grass fever hits. [/QUOTE]
