If you're talking finished cattle,I have Angus and Angus cross cows,I breed to Angus,so all black and black baldie calves. Finished,over a years time on average,I wind up at just a hair under $1100 per head gross. So,probably 14 finished steers or heifers (for some reason I do better on fat heifers than steers) to gross what you would renting it out. I guess,just figure how many you could finish growing feed on those acres,less the cost of feeders. Then figure the value of the feed in putting it through them instead of selling it. That's where you and I have it over the big feedyards that buy all their feed. Yes,the cost of growing it is up,probably double a few years ago,but November futures for fats are around $102,vs 75-80 a few years ago.And there isn't any expansion going on in the cow herd,so it looks like prices will hold. So,yes,we could get more for that feed by selling it than we could a few years back,but we aren't PAYING market price for it.

Flax provided the fibre which w
