Take two cows of the same breed, same weight and each 6 months bred, one in Minnesota and one in Louisiana, dead of winter, the Minnesota cow will require more total digestible nutrients to maintain herself but there is a high probability that it will be cheaper feed in total. Where in the mid west and northern states corn stalks and cereal straw/hay are readily available that is not the case most places in the deep south, when we harvest corn in late july or early august the fodder is basically not worth the fuel it would take to bale it, leached out from summer rains and burnt up by 100 degree days. It is true we can grow rye grass, wheat, oats and several more fall and winter grazing crops but they are high input crops, due to the relatively warm temperatures year round and lack of freezing weather microbial activity in the soil never ceases, or goes dormant as it does up north, that fact along with the soil leaching winter rains make the fertilizer requirements high if you want a good stand of grass. I grow rye grass and oats for convenience and to back ground calves but for brood cow maintenance it is actually cheaper for me to put up and feed hay.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
