    Our corn worked out to about 50 cents per cow per day. Have no idea what the production was on that field, but it was 8 feet high and had big cobs.

    We figure it's well worth the effort, (or lack of ... two and a half months with no chores is easy to live with LOL) and we'll do it again next year.

        How do most people calculate their cost per hd/day on corn or swath grazing. I would assume you would not just look at your costs, but at what you could have gotten gross per acre for that land as a crop.

                I have 55 acres of oats being swath grazed by 55 head. Total input costs for spray, seed, seeding, swathing = $3600. That works out to just under $66 per head. They have been at it since the end of October and should make the middle or end of Feb.
