North Mo. | Oh no for having a outside employment you do a great job on rotation much more than the normal part timer. To me a too good of job ,meaning needing more cattle and less inputs that take from the bottom line. Not that some of the things you do doesn't increase income but at more of a cost. A example is your cow and calf, from a eye appeal point they truly look great any person looking at them should agree. From a point of grass management you are under stocked. I realize or at least I think you do not have the fescue problem we have so maybe I am wrong. If I see cows as fat as yours here in Mo. I would assume they have a pretty easy grazing life which means lost production off the grass. That said there is a very fine line, just a few weeks ago I looked at some cows like mine fatter than all get out, others the guy had were on a much higher stock density grazing program and they in no way looked as fat. There are of course exceptions to that as a few of his cows on the more intense grazing were in better shape. Same here, some look poor and others look great so we try to select for the ones who take the grazing pressure. I have to be meaner so to speak because I am trying to develop a cow herd that pays me while I spend less. Ben | |
