[QUOTE="damengineer, post: 1715097, member: 24810"] I have too many cattle for the land I have. I no-tilled triticale into the pasture a couple months ago and it is growing as much as possible with my cows eating on it constantly. My wheat/triticale pasture is only 3 inches tall because of rain/fertilizer shortage. More like money shortage!! I hauled off 18 head 2 weeks go and took a beating. Had one red horned heifer 650lb only brought 30 cents. Another 500 lb spotted bull only brought 50 cents. 600 lb heifers brought 85 cents. So, I will keep until spring and sell off what I can afford to lose... I hauled them 100 miles away as I got a good price 2 months earlier. If I am going to give them away I might as well go local and sve the time and fuel...... Mine are longhorn/angus crosses. They don't have calving problems and grow good, but don't bring anything... However, when fed out at 18-24 months of age, they are very feed efficient and have a good flavorful and lean meat. Just the right amount of fat... Steaks have great marbling for flavor... [/QUOTE]
