[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1333252, member: 9096"] If you're running 15 head now and storing hay for winter, you'd probably be able to run 20-30 on a seasonal basis.. I'd consider overstocking slightly and selling calves when they're 5-6 months old, and perhaps as many cows as needed so that the fall forage holds out, then sell the rest of them in the fall.. Having weaned the calves they should put on some more fat... Only problem is there's always lots of cows for sale in the fall and the price will reflect that. You'll always be at the mercy of the markets, and there may be times when it's not going to pay as well as you'd hoped, other times it might be better than expected, you just have to prepare yourself for that.
