[QUOTE="Galloways1, post: 747124, member: 13016"] I live in Eastern ND. We run two different pasture one is $25/ acre, and the other is about $15. The stocking rates vary, but we can only typically graze from May 15th to Dec. 1 if not shorter. That is one of the major reasons I raise Galloway cattle. When I have to winter feed for 6 months, I want efficient cattle. Availability of cornstalks for grazing vary, so not always an option. This year we had 2 ft of snow on everything. We were able to graze our cows on stalks until Feb. 1st., saved a lot of hay and $$. Our winter feed costs are generally in the .80 - 1.00 per head per day. This is based on feeding strictly grass hay, consisting of brome, june grass, and general slough type grasses. [/QUOTE]
