[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 605697, member: 8978"] randialina: Seems like you have done some number crunching and come up with a good solution. I wonder if you have included the tub grinding cost in the price of straw/hay/kochia? It seems to me your straw price is pretty costly? It is pretty sad to see good cows going down the road because of this poor cattle situation, but the market is what it is and we need to do whatever it takes to survive. Hopefully next year things will improve. I also would like to ask what you will be doing with the extra pasture you will now have seeing as how you sold half your herd? Do you intend to break it up and crop it? Is it suitable land? I ask because I am considering breaking up some land and decreasing my cow herd. In my area they are going to build a huge bio deisel/ethanol plant and it might make more sense to grow canola or wheat. Of course this plant might supply a good source of cheap feed, so am weighing all my options. [/QUOTE]
