[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1818246, member: 42463"] If I had to drive two hours to feed cattle it might be different. I'll admit that. But then if I had to drive two hours to feed my cattle I would be either leasing that ground to a local or hiring someone because my ranch was large enough to justify it... and they'd live where the cattle are. I've never owned any acreage where I had to feed supplements to get the growth I've needed. It's just a foreign concept to me. If I need to feed supplements I would be doing something wrong. I'd be overgrazing my pastures or failing to stockpile enough hay. If I needed to get more growth by using supplements I would be using poor genetics. Something would have to be not working right to require supplements. Maybe it works differently where you don't have any snow? So no hay? And the way real estate prices have changed I'm sure the numbers don't work the same anymore. I couldn't justify 10K an acre or more raising 2K cattle. [/QUOTE]
