[QUOTE="forageconverter, post: 400453, member: 6466"] CB, Thanks for your earlier reply. By the way, we also utilize year around calving, and wean and sell in a somewhat similar manner to you. When asked when we calve, I tell people we have three calving seasons: Spring; Fall; and in between. I thought the $100 profit per cow already took in account a 90% calf crop? Shouldn’t the land note, set-up cost, and tractor note at least be partially accounted for before the $100 profit is figured? I like the idea of your post, ‘grass first’, and there’s been a lot of informative points made throughout the thread; but if one is not charging anything to the cows for the grass, then ‘grass first’ just as well be ‘free feed first’. I just think at a very minimum, if the land is paid for, a producer needs to account for what he could have rented his grass to another producer for. If one’s only profit is $100 per cow, and if this is before the acquiring of any assets that would add to his net worth, then I think he could easily rent out his land for more money; or at the very least, he could rent it out for the same money and just sit back and relax if he chose to.
