Working on some stockpile grasses! 54 mamas and their calves, this is currently costing us $45 a day supplementing with protein and energy to utilize season long stockpile.

Stockpiling also improves the land drastically, keeping my fertilizer bill at ZERO!

I’ll never stop raising cattle. After my father died it lit a fire under me to raise cows and produce home raised beef, but it’s a lot of work and heart ache.

Just have to keep moving forward

Diesel hit $6 a gallon this week. First time ever. Oil's over $105 a barrel. Saudi Aramco's own CEO says it costs them about $2 to pull a barrel out of the ground. Their all-in number is around $3.50. That's a nickel a gallon of crude, selling for $2.50 a gallon before it ever sees a refinery.
Now look at this mama cow.
A bred heifer costs $3,500 to $4,000 right now. Raise her yourself and the University of Florida says you've got closer to $4,500 in her. Then it costs $1,000 to $1,500 a year to keep her, per USDA and Kansas State. What does she pay back? USDA and the Livestock Marketing Information Center have tracked it since the '70s. Best year on record (2014): about $535 a cow. 2016: lost $21. 2018: made $15. 2019: lost $200 a head. The last couple years have been good ones, around $440 a cow.
Do the math on a $3,500 cow. Best year of a generation, 13%. Normal year, 2%. Bad year, you lose money. And that's before the rancher pays himself a nickel.
One business makes 30 times its cost. The other feeds, doctors, and waits three years to maybe make 2%.
Every pound of beef on your table came from somebody who did it anyways while hoping and praying things turn around.

A little Silvopasture project! Took out a few trees last year to get sunlight and now I graze it every now and then! Busted a covey of quail when we first went in

Grass genetics!

This is a big effing problem. A person I know said it best

“Wonder what male cows that physiologically think they are females do to the people that eat them”

There sure has been a lot of confusion in our society lately about gender.

And we wonder why everyone is so sick, men have no testosterone, fertility in women continues to decline.

I had someone tell me that me not using chemicals on my pasture doesn’t matter because by the time someone ate that beef those chemicals would not be in the meat.

NEWS FLASH. It matters. It matters what you put in your soil, your livestock and your body. It’s all connected.

Buy local beef
