[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1815829, member: 38220"] If we were a commercial herd would sell down some and keep very few heifers, but with a registered herd it's more just hold numbers steady. We had a great grass year, which gives us a chance to reset our pasture management. Cow numbers are in balance or a little understocked for the amount of pasture. The goal is to graze 10 months of the year with some cake starting around first of December til we start calving March 1. Then feed half rations of alfalfa til grass comes on around May 1. We can actually run a cow fairly cheap here (less than a ton of hay per head) if we manage pastures right and aren't in a drought. [/QUOTE]
