[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 733837, member: 4362"] I agree with the experimentation. Keeps things interesting as well. I'm not one to follow the pack either especially when my check book shows me its financial suicide. Like you say, optimizing production is not neccessarily the same as optimizing return. I would hate to know I had everything planted in hybrid bermudas. Just don't think it would work. Bermudas are great and have their place but there are other grasses that don't require near the input. Forgot who said it but you have to find an unfair advantage to make money raising cattle. To this, I'd like to add if you find one its best to keep your mouth shut about it or it won't be yours for long. Cattle will eat all you can afford to feed them. Key seems to be the ability to recognize the point of diminishing returns. [/QUOTE]
