Dividing your operation into both cow-calf and feeder calves will require extra fencing, management and labor compared to going 100 percent into one or the other. Are you thinking of trying both for just a few years to see which works best for you?

Beef breeds will have better feed efficiency than dairy breeds. When beef feeder calf prices drop you might consider switching to beef calves and adding even more extra animals. If you have low hay yields you can cull your herd size in the Fall to match your Winter feed supply.
