[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1497086, member: 25884"] Part of it is that further south, there is so much LESS grass and moisture for grass. We face high land costs and input costs here in Va., and trucking for the calves going to market cuts the calf prices. But we can run more cattle per acre than further south. I think that many places are looking at 1 pair per 5-20 acres maybe? We try to shoot for 1 pair per 1 1/2 acres if we get decent moisture and can rotational graze. The guys further south would have to answer you better. We feed hay for at least 4 months here at most places but we do stockpile some grass at 2 places and can get a couple extra months grazing there if it was a good summer and fall for growth. [/QUOTE]
