[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 934004, member: 3739"] You all said yourselves the biggest costs in raising cattle are feed, fuel and fertilizer. What I see that you guys seem to be missing is that if you reduce the costs = minimize the usage of these three main expenses, you will end up with a lower cost per cow. The biggest thing that must take place in order to minimize these costs is to utilize better grazing practices (i.e., mob grazing), get the cows out of the drylot and out on pasture come winter doing some actual grazing (be it swath grazing, bale grazing or stockpiling) instead of spending $$$$$$$$ on fuel and grain. So CB, sorry to say maybe you HAVE been doing it wrong this whole time. :) But what do I know? I'm just a beginner/armchair cattlewoman that just wants to reiterate information she's read and heard about in the past. :) [/QUOTE]
