| Need to go to a cattle sale. Took two loads of fats in today, that I'll admit were a little green, to shut off the feed bill. Load after load after load of slaughter cows coming in. Hay's high, grain's high, byproduct's are high.
Did I mention Fats are 10 bucks a hundred less than than this time last year?
Then I went and priced fertilizer on the way home.
60-40-40 ?
69 friggin bucks an acre!!!!! Plus spreading!!!! 2 1/2-3 acres per pair per year, plus pasture costs, mineral, supplement!!!!!!
Hay mix? Typically 70-50-70 for grass hay? 1-1 1/2 acres per pair per year
91.50 per acre!!!!
Alfalfa? 0-100-300?
$260 an acre!!!!!
Holy Sh$%
