So i posted the other day about my holstein heifers, and was encouraged by the responses i had recieved, thank you! It had got me thinking later on about possibly feeding more animals at some point. Ive been researching for hours and reading old posts about putting a actual value to the feed. Im feeding a grain byproduct im sourcing fairly local, trucking it myself, and then mixing with another byproduct i source from an out of state plant. But i have trucks in the area frequently needing to come back so it works. Its a a very good fat source and i like the way it works in my ration. I really have been wanting to downsize my trucking operation and just have a farm truck, get rid of the commercial side of things. I feel like with adding a few more animals, possibly holsteins if this ground ends well. I would be able to do that. I am a huge numbers guy and run every possible option/outcome i can before i am satisfied. Lol. But anyway the first picture is the grain feed value results, and second is the fattier product im feeding. What would it be worth too you? I throw hay and a bit of molases with mineral in my tmr for them as well.


Hmmmmmmmm - - - 'huge numbers guy' - - - maybe we have the same disease?

Re: business plans - - - most people talk about 1 or maybe three. You know - - - what you expect and then maybe the other 2 are up or down say 10 to 15%.
I'd suggest 2 more - - - 1. when everything falls out of bed and 2. beyond your wildest dreams.
(#1 means how do I keep a roof over my head and food on the table when everything has gone into the dumper. #2 many companies are destroyed when things go very very well - - - few ever are ready for such.)

If you stop your commercial trucking the cost to you of your out of state travels will be quite different.
Assuming you can still make the product pencil - - - well then - - fly atter!
