[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1710128, member: 4063"] Yes the calves did eat grass for an additional 77 days and it was during the summer growing season but the way I see it the calves ate much less grass than if I had 20% more cows which is what I would need to have more calves to sell to make up the dollar difference of not weaning plus added weight. I have my stocking rate adjusted to take the weaning period into account plus I also save back heifers for replacements. Is hay usually that price or is it more expensive than normal because of the drought? [/QUOTE]
