How to get money out of feed lots
Iowa farmer George W. Godfrey defies high land prices by using a four quarter-section rotation emphasizing second-year sweet clover and first-year clover pasture to feed and finish beef calves on cheap feed. He claims 400-pound calves can be produced at about 316 per head, with costs broken down including stover silage, alfalfa hay, and oilmeal. His system also yields steady income from a small Hamp shire flock, wool, and lamb sales, plus soil benefits from legumes and lime.
