        Here in Special Areas we get our grass so cheap that we don't charge as much. Oh I forgot, we can't sublet except at community pasture rates administered by the bureaucrats. I'm just messing with hoarse. But seriously you could give SAB a call if you are looking for grass.

          HT, What like %2.39/AUM plus resourse for a tidy profit before having to put up with cows. Cows and fish to pay for your fences and watering .
          Wonder will this new premier see the err in thier ways, Ralph didnt see his way to getting a decent return on OUR crown land. Mabey he was a hunter friend of the OH.

            I was at Hardisty, east-central, 3 hours North of Medicine Hat. We charged 70 cents per head per day for yearlings. We put out blue cobalt salt blocks, the client provided a loose mineral mix that I kept in front of the animals. Treating anything was at cost.

              We are at $0.85 on yearlings and $1.10 on pairs at Meadow Lake.
              Cattle owner provides mineral, we provide all care, fences, etc. Treatment at cost.
              I would charge more for bigger cows and/or early calves.

                Yes i think the size of the animal is important. All the pasture ratings were set on a 1000Lb animal.and one would search hard to find a cow that size any more..Many are so big they eat a lot.
