[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1727074, member: 4063"] Yes, I'm saying that many operations can be just as profitable with fewer cows, when they are overstocked and have to purchase every bite of the hay and feed the cows consume you will not be profitable, especially in a drought-stricken area where hay is very expensive. This is what feedlots do for yearlings and it's usually a marginal business for them. Feedlots have a larger scale of operation and buying power, it wouldn't pencil out to do that with cows. With fewer cows, the cows will have a chance to graze for their food rather than having it brought to them. [/QUOTE]
