[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1333626, member: 1715"] Grazing management can certainly double, and perhaps triple, stocking rates. After that you may need to consider irrigation...[/quote] Even if you are already doing things like rotational grazing, MIG, etc, maintaining soil and pasture quality/fertilization?[/quote] Pretty inclusive list. At this point improving marketing is probably more economical than increasing productivity. If you still want to focus on productivity - - then driving up OM rather than maintaining soil, increasing stocking density, and using some high energy annuals in your rotation, would round out best practices. Done selectively - - this will increase stocking rate, and perhaps allow you to cash flow additional land. Texas posters insist cattle cannot pay for land but this does happen in other areas. The challenges are being willing to walk away from some deals, and setting up your system so it still works when cattle prices drop. [/QUOTE]
