Thing to do is have about 400-500 acres of Sorghum Sudan grass planted in July. Then graze it all winter. Maybe supplement them a bit.
All in costs per acre are about 10 bucks.
100 acres per month, well for 350 cows anyway.
Takes a lot of the labor and cost out of ranching.
1000 bucks a month to winter them on SS grass. Where as I figure some days of feeding for me are 1000-1500 bucks....per day!
Good thing I dont figure in labor costs for me!
Anyway, thats what we work on. Try to be more productive with less labor and less labor cost.
