Cut Feed Costs - The first step is understanding when - and when not - to cut back

摘要

You can reduce feed costs 25-50% in many beef herds while at the same time improving nutrition, says Larry Corah, Kansas State University beef nutritionist. That's a pretty bold statement considering feed costs normally make up 60% of annual cow costs, or about 200 dollar/cow. Cutting feed costs by 50-100 dollar/cow could make a big difference in your year-end bottom line.
