Greg details how to make money in the grazing business. With good grazing management and animals that are adapted to their environment, your grazing profits will increase dramatically. Decreasing the carrying cost of each animal on your farm drives profit.

    That Murray Gray cross cow is really a well made, beautiful cow. Her calf is a stunner too. It seems you can breed dang near anything to a South Pol bull and get improved results in terms of size and gut capacity, I've never been crazy about horns particularly those that are sharp pointed horn with the pointy end forward. They can inflict damage to her fellow cattle just by swinging their head in amongst other cows and calves. Apparently, you don't have that problem as horns don't seem to concern you. From your video on the gravel roads, the cows don't seem to have foot problems. Their hooves look well shaped I would guess that your cattle drives over those gravel surfaces help in keeping the hoof sound and trimmed up.

    Greg, we have a decent quality pasture with 10-14” of grass that we won’t be able to graze off before the snow comes...is it better to leave it or is it better to mow it off before winter? Our snow is often forecasted in feet rather than inches so leaving it tall to stick up through the snow doesn’t work here I was just wondering which way is better for the soil and for the next years stand.

I know it depends a lot on quality of pasture, rain fall, and many things, but I live in a similar area as you and this would give me a rough idea what to shoot for long term.
