[QUOTE="alfalfaking, post: 495180, member: 2701"] Hey guys, I am trying to put a pencil to this and see which route would be more profitable. The situation is, I have 160 that I currently lease out. It includes 90acres of creek bottom currently in wheat and another 70 acres in coastal bermuda in great shape. Fencing and water and working facilities are all in place. I make my note payment with the rent which is $5000. I have 73 limi/angus cross cows and I have to rent all my pasture and purchase all my hay. When it comes time to wean, I dont fell like I am getting the most out of my calves since I dont have the needed wheat ground to run them on. Since I have the needed equipment to put up the hay, would I be better off to drop one of the other pastures I rent($1250) and take back my 160 put in the wheat, run the calves on it, then either cut the wheat for hay. I guess my question are: 1. Is it more profitable to either sale the calves after their weaned and buy my own hay 2. Retain the calves, take back my 160 put in some wheat(will there be enough gain?) and cut my own hay. [/QUOTE]
