[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1450111, member: 4362"] I can relate to this. I take nothing from my pastures therefore I put nothing in them. I will pull a soil test every 5-8 years whether it needs it or not and will add any necessary nutrients but this is rarely very much. Lime would be the main thing and even that isn't much because I don't take from it nor do I add chemicals that will effect the pH. If I were running stockers it would be a different story but for a cow/calf operation I don't see the need nor the economics of doing anything more. I've also noticed that by not pushing the stocking I have little to no health issues with the cattle. A while back I did have one develop a limp and she limped around for about two weeks and then she went to walking without a limp. Wonder what that was all about? I guess I could have called the vet. :oops: [/QUOTE]
