[QUOTE="novatech, post: 713730, member: 5494"] Nobody around here custom grazes. If I can't buy stockers at the right price then I would rather shread and freshen it up a bit. I will not borrow money on cattle. Stockers are a gamble but I would not do it without a sales contract in hand. I have learned a lesson or two in the past. In my small operation I can afford to experment with out being hurt. Locals have made comments because of my low stocking rate. Most avrege 5 bales per cow per year. They all complain about not making money. The neighbor was once running over a thousand head. He baled his own hay. That was about 5 years ago. Today he runs about 500 head, sells his hay and no longer complains about profit. [/QUOTE]
