'07 was a whole wasn't a good year for me. But, I consider the hay to be money in the bank so to speak.
The way rye grass is jumping here I will be through haying in a couple of weeks.gerardplauche":96danfrf said:cypressfarms - With the winter we are having down here, spring grass may start growing next week!!! :lol2: :lol2:

Or is it that it's nobody's business. Then there are those that wait till the last dog is hung till they work on taxes.

I agree no one want's to say I am loosing my shirt, but there are some real advantages to knowing input cost in different regions. You are in a bad drought area say and you are able to hold your inputs 20 cents a head lower than than me in the same area. The things your doing could actually help someone hold on versus go under.

I agree it is no ones business if you have one cow or 1000.
Input cost are going to be all over the board from region to region, mine should be less than yours due to milder climate. If not I am doing something terribly wrong. But with that said I am also not going to be able to raise the pounds of beef you do in this sauna either.
