[QUOTE="Dave, post: 450916, member: 498"] As opposed to renting or leasing out your pasture, with a rate of gain you are managing both the cattle and the pasture. Plenty of renters graze to the roots but it is doubtful you would do it to yourself. The grazing contacts I have seen have a mortality clause. That spells out how much mortality lose is the responsibility of the cattle owner and it is the first 2 or 3% that is their responsibility. They are also weight in and weight out at the closes weighing point to your farm with no shrink. The contracts also stipulate the vaccination program for the cattle and an intelligent producer is going to make sure they are vaccinated properly for everything under the sun. Grazing on the rate of gain is actually a good way to minimize risk. Of course by minimizing risk you are also limiting reward. It is also a good way to get into cattle with a limited investment.
