Greg Halich just published another well-written stocker economics update in Beef. It contained some annual encouragement to know your costs and manage risk, and there is a great one paragraph explanation of LRP at the end.
The big local difference is our grazing season length is only about 60% of his example. This makes the per acre return to land and management here about the same for stockers or one n dones or conventional corn. Labor will vary. The per acre home run is if you can graze stalks and reduce purchased fertilizer while getting above average yields. It is about soil in the end.
