[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1647913, member: 1715"] Higher input higher productivity improved pastures vs. lower productivity native pastures is an interesting comparison. It depends a lot on the profitability of your animals, their need for feed, and the cost/lb. of a renovation. Here - - it is usually more profitable to run stockers on improved pastures and cows on native pastures. If you want to get complicated you can lay out the "forage chain" for a year. Then some improved pastures may be needed seasonally to reduce the use of higher cost stored feed like hay. We manage some improved pastures for fall and early winter grazing when our native pasture is not available. [/QUOTE]
