[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 622754, member: 694"] You are right look at the fuel, fertilizer, time, savings. This reminds me of when we used to run cows on nothing but grass with nothing and I mean nothing else. I remember old uncles looking at old cows saying that old cow is not going to make it this winter. The difference is these were sorry cows and calf's compared to today quality. Now they were tough cows they could eat barb wire and brairs and survive, you had to have good horses and dogs to pen them. Part of that management was dead on as they had virtually no input cost now if you can get there through reduced numbers and maintain the quality. Getting out of the hay business has money maker written all over it.You are looking at a minimum savings of 60 bucks a head in the south. [/QUOTE]
