[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 331908, member: 1744"] Some pretty advanced calculations needed here...way beyond my limited knowledge. Was the availability of put-up hay for the fall made available to you and at what cost. Do you have suppliments allowed to be factored and again at what cost. Weigh the cost of the lease against the cost to feed bought hay and suppliment. BCS of four is pretty slim IMO and five isn't much better going into winter with nursing calves. The persence of a bull assists in encouraging estrus along with the better BCS. If you are loosing condition on pasture then you have to make the decision to spend the $$ and get the balanced ration for the animals...sometimes you just find yourself in the headcatch and the wallet needs to be opened. Just document your decisions with fact and your herd plan. And that's my two bits worth...and about all that it is worth. DMc [/QUOTE]
