Finding cheap hay for our cattle is a balancing act. See how we source affordable feed for our herd in this look at farm costs.

Managing a farm requires keeping operational expenses low, and feed is often the biggest line item. In our community, we have a high percentage of second homes, which creates unique opportunities for sourcing supplies. This video explains how we leverage those local dynamics to secure affordable feed while continuing our cattle farming operation.

Understanding proper livestock management means knowing exactly what your inputs cost. We break down the math behind our purchasing, specifically how we calculate that one heifer is equivalent to 75 hay bales. If you are interested in the economics of small-scale agriculture or want to see how we handle our winter supply, this footage shows the process.

Subscribe for weekly farming and agricultural tips, and tell us in the comments if you want to see more of our daily routine with the animals.
