[QUOTE="DNelson, post: 1775403, member: 42080"] I'm a small operator in northern MN on 80 acres with about 60 acres pasture and 14 acres hay field. I recently sold 12 of my 16 pure Angus ( not registered) after two years of drought and having to buy hay and protein tubs for winter. The last two years I put the cattle in the hay field when the pasture was grazed to the max, which helped. So I'm down to three cows that will calve in the spring and one bull. Plans were to build the herd to 16 to 18 cows and sell the calves, replace heifers' when needed, etc. the weather sure changed plans and starting over again at the young age of 71! I was also looking into doing corn of beans on the hay acreage since I have been buying hay and also need less hay after the sale. Not sure if that is the best way to go but I have a few cold months to make up my mind. [/QUOTE]
