[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1805275, member: 42820"] Mind might be a little bigger but not much. Mind will be 4 months old next week. I know when they are first weaned off they take a few days to settle in from leaving mama. I have another small pasture but haven’t put fence around it yet. It would be out of site of mom. The pastures I’m moving mind to are right across a dirt road maybe 30 feet from fence to fence. Calves and moms will congregate at the fence and moo one another for a week. I gotta get my other pasture fenced in. But it is what it is and I’ll do what I have to to survive. But if things keep going up, that may solve my problem. I hope not but I don’t have my own hay and prices have doubled since I started 10 years ago. Now around me the hay people are buying the smaller balers (4 x 5 ) and still want $70 a bale delivered or same price if you pick it up. Cotton seed here is now $360 a ton. Was $285/ton 3 years ago. Calf prices are a little better but doesn’t pay back these increases. Fertilizer had gone crazy so I don’t get to fertilize like I want to. But a country boy can survive they say. I just have to make good moves, and tough calls. [/QUOTE]
