[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 1062189, member: 16167"] I have never lost money on cattle, so I can't really say exactly makes me different from those that have, but these are some things I think have helped. I never have to buy hay, when we have good years I save alot of hay and when we have a drought and only get a 1/3 as much off a field as normal, I'm not out there paying 60 or 80$ a bale like some are, I am feeding hay I have less than 25$ in. Over the last 10 years I have an average of just over 11 months between calves on all my cows. Another thing that has been hard for me to do but I feel is more profitable, is I stopped keeping as many heifers for cows, waiting 3 years to have something to sell out of a heifer is waiting a long time. I always have felt I could raise better heifers for cows than I could buy, but so far just keeping the very top few and then selling the majority and putting that into good bred cows has seemed to work out better.
