[QUOTE="Dusty, post: 319483, member: 4585"] I understand that, you sell at Weaning and it is cheaper if you keep the calves on the cows, How many acers can you run a cow/calf on, I can run a cow/calf on 5.5 ac. for 6 months. But by pulling the calves quicker, I can a cow/calf on 3.5.. Means I am running more cattle. You have to watch the pasteurs though. Also I am feeding my bulls out for sale, and cutting the bottom 50% for the plants, my last group went over 70% CAB Quality. My females are bred at 12-13 months and calve around 20-22 months of age, I am figuring I make an additional 1.37 calves a cows lifetime. from this program. KSU and ISU both have studies showing results better then mine through their extensions... I am getting a better feed conversion and I am keeping the fat lower on my cattle. Also I have found that my Preg rates went up almost 7%. I don't feed from the bag, but alfalfa, milo, high mositure corn, and corn silage I raise so why not get the most bang for my buck. Now that corn is over $3 it might change my mind next Sept... [/QUOTE]
