First off, I dont know where you live but your probably comparing apples and oranges, secondly, you either didn't read all of my post or you didn't understand it. I live in Louisiana, we can grow a green crop year round, we can actually grow more grass in the winter than we can in the summer because of the wet, mild winters and high summer temperatures. I specifically stated that I was talking cash out-put, I included nothing for labor, wear and tear, etc., I don't care what I could get in rent because I have no interest in renting my land. I stated in a follow up post that we have extremely low property tax rates. I have over 600 acres of grass pasture available in a region with an average annual rainfall of 58 inches per year to run an average of 120 pairs, plus I creep feed the calves to take pressure off of the cows because the calves utilize the feed much more efficiently than a cow turning the feed into milk. In addition, I cut a lot of hay to feed cull cows in a lot, I did not include any figures on the feedlot cattle because it is a totally different management scenario. As far as starving a profit out of cows your way off the mark, I also have been in the cattle business more than 50 years, actually my whole life, as was my dad and Granddad and Uncles and there is no profit to be made with ill cared for livestock, not to mention the moral repugnance of keeping livestock that are not properly fed and cared for. Just how is the cow calf man taking it in the shorts when calf prices have been at all time highs for most of the last decade? and, still today there are only a few years in the history of the US cattle business when prices were higher. If you can't make money after 45 years in the business maybe you should put a pencil to your own management practices.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
