[QUOTE="dun, post: 26492, member: 34"] All very important considerations. And you're right about opinions. Just as what breeds or size of animals work best under specific mangament, haying falls into the same framework. On a strictly dollar basis it wouldn't pay for us. For the points you brought up it may pay, if not in direct dollars the indirect savings of weed control, the higher quality hay, etc. Running stockers to keep ahead of the available forage, stockpiling adequate forage for the winter, and destocking as the growth slows are all viable alternatives to putting up hay. But it won't work for everyone, or for that matter in all areas. Normally we try to keep all ofthe angles working. Including selling 7 tons of fescue seed last year, stockers, haying some pastures and stock piling others. But just because it worked last year doesn't mean it will work this year. dun [/QUOTE]
