[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 446144, member: 4063"] Thanks for all of your replies. My goal is to establish a pasture that provides good nutrition and good volume on little inputs. With fertilizer costs, herbicide costs and labor costs (my time) all going up and no end in site, I think it is better to have an operation that is less dependant on costly inputs. I don't want to spend all of my time in a tractor seat plowing and planting annuals nor do I want to own a hay baler, I have grass powered harvesters instead of diesel powered ones. In my area I think I can winter cows just fine on standing native forage grasses intermingled with clover and feed hay only during more extreme weather when cold fronts blow through. Is anyone else operating in this manner? J+ [/QUOTE]
