[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 623512, member: 1715"] Hay has come down a little here with average hay running 3.0 to 3.8 cents per pound. If you bale graze there will be minimal equipment cost. Right now I am using snow shoes and a safety knife... Fertilizer costs continue to change, but last fall I estimated the fertilizer value of out wintered hay at $27 per ton. Cut that back a bit and call it 1.2 cents per pound. We have global cooling here and I estimate heifers and cows combined average 30# of hay per day. So net feed cost is (3.8-1.2)*30=US$ 0.72 per day plus $0.08 for mineral or about $24 per month. If you feed November through April that comes to $144 to overwinter a small cow. Am I missing anything here? [/QUOTE]
