[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 558607, member: 4674"] At the present time here in East Texas it is cost prohibitive to use commercial fertilizer or chicken litter. The price on the chicken litter is $45 ton at 2 tons to the acre with a minimum of 200 acres. There is no way that you can pay for it with the $.70 to $.80 cent calves. I know off one man that used the litter and from the looks of the amount of hay he produced it was not worth the price. Could be that it takes longer for the manure to be on the ground to be able to be used by the grass. He cut about a month after spreading the manure so maybe next time it may make more. I am about ready to sell the cows out and do nothing, at least doing nothing does not cost. [/QUOTE]
