[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1417571, member: 6291"] Just to clarify, I am not saying Rafter S is wrong. That is a preference. We have two different styles of operating. If you notice there is not a lot of difference in what we are saying acres wise. I like to see quite a bit of grass in the pasture and despise feeding hay. If I have excess grass I hold my calves longer to maximize my ground. Not to put words in his mouth, but he likes to maximize his ground with pairs and if he needs to feed a few bales that is ok. Im going to guess he lives on, or near his property? Its two different operational styles... not a right or wrong. In reality if you stock a pair to 5 acres and it gets dry... you might have to sell 1 pair... so now you have 2 instead of 3. I don't like going up or down. I am in it for the long term and like to capitalize in the droughts... not the wet years... although I don't mind them. That is why these boards are great if you keep an open mind and perspective with what each person is telling you. Now its your choice to take all this info and cut your own path. Your going to find you may not be happy if you do every thing I say... or every thing Rafter S says... a hybrid of all this info is probably actually the best route. ;-) [/QUOTE]
