[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 768383, member: 9413"] Canoetrpr, You mentioned about just starting your herd....Be careful about your stocking rate, we are in Michigan, not so far away from you, and its been an exceptional year for grass until the last week or two when it got hot and dry. Hay is plentiful and cheap, prices are higher, and people are retaining many of their numbers because it has been so good this year. It may be a different story the rest of the year or next year, then you will be feeding expensive hay and trying to unload your cattle along with everybody else that is worried about having enough grass or hay to feed. The numbers you are already running seem high for an average year, as they calves grow they'll consume more. [/QUOTE]
