We’ve moved calving season to April 15 - June 17 starting next year. We’re transitioning some fall calvers now. This year’s conception rate has been close to 100% among spring calvers. Jury still out on cal calvers
Do you take regular Brix readings? The Brix levels in leaves is directly related to the amount of root exudates produced and how much the soil is being improved so a cheap way to validate your methodology.
Do you have insurance on your cattle packing them in tight with lightning storms rolling in ? That’s one thing I’m concerned about if I decide to do this type of grazing.
I have a few questions. Only asking because you seem to be very confident this is the most profitable way to run a cow calf operation and I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your cost for your hay, cover crops, and protein supplement. Also how much time it takes on average per day to graze this way.
I’m out of town this week so it will have to wait, but I believe 100% this is the most profitable method of grazing in a cow/calf operation. Stocking rate is the most inportant variable and this method grows AND utilizes the most forage. Keep in mind that in a normal year we don’t do covers or feed much if any hay. Our only costs most years are rent, mineral, and protein. We put nothing down on our soil (no fertilizer, seed, lime, etc)

I don’t currently but it’s something I’ve considered

No insurance on the cows.
