[QUOTE="novatech, post: 890641, member: 5494"] In a cow calf operation, how long does it take to break even on 200 lbs, 21-0-0 per acre on pasture? There is a gain in lbs. per day gained by calves and there can also be a gain in stocking rate. The problem is that for some reason many do not put the pencil to it. They assume that the high price of fertilizer makes it unfeasible. Cattle magazines have been including articles ever since I can remember on benefits of doing different management things in pastures, like the use of legumes and pasture rotation, but for some reason all to many rationalize why it it is not right for them. The same people complain about having to feed to much hay and not making a profit. The concept of [b]"You Are A Grass Farmer First"[/b] seems to not be understood. To go along with this one must also understand the basic business principle of inputs vs. outputs, short term and long term. Investment capital and cash flow necessary to implement these management practices will also play a very important role. [/QUOTE]
