[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1622625, member: 24947"] Idk...but maybe... Someone will criticize the fact that I inherited a large amount of my land... well all except 50 acres. I run minimal input cow/ calf. I have considerable lease property s that averages 10 per acre per year. I run understocked in most opinions. I seed winter pasture. Very rarely do I feed cattle on a daily basis. I don't feed mineral. I don't believe cattle with a variety of grazing and browse require it. Almost all of my equipment crosses over to my other business. Including trucks and trailers, tilliage and planting equipment. Since we are now doing considerable hay production plus hunting lease. I think when we go to profit per acre we are doing a pretty good job. Agriculture is alot like construction in that if you can't adapt very quickly you won't make it. Unless you are very large bto. The small to medium producer needs to be willing to consider his cows as only part of his business and be capable of doing their job without him a good percent of the time. I know that stinks. But it's the only way I can make it work. [/QUOTE]
