[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1590056, member: 38595"] That may be the outcome of I had the money to play with. I am only 5 years into this cattle venture, so take this for what you will 😀. But I am positive we could graze this place entirely and use less than half the hay we have been going through. Running the same amount of cattle at first of course. Just to see how it plays out. I believe that 2 to 3 years worth of purchased hay would last at least 4 or 5 years. And would eventually end up increasing our head count. Just my thoughts after running the cattle tight and moving often this year and seeing the forage response. Hoping to buy a years worth and try it next year. The ridiculous costs of equipment, fertilizer, lime, seed, and most importantly my time are telling me that resources would be better spent buying hay and grazing more. The catch for me would be finding a reliable source for decent hay that isn't priced for horses. Again, just my thought process out loud. I'm sure there will be surprises. Good and bad. [/QUOTE]
