Got a question?

Does anyone know what the going rate is to take cows in with year round care? I got about 500 acres offered to me but do not have enough cows of mine own to stock it right now and I do not want to but cows. I just want to keep back heifers and build my own herd. However i do not want to turn down the land cause land is hard to come across in northwest Oklahoma, so i am thinking about take cows. How does a guy charge for that. I do not want to sub-lease. Any opinions? Thanks for the thougths

Glad you asked,i was just thinking about doing that also.Is the amount different state to state?

How many cows do you want? What town are you nearest to? Maybe we could work out a deal.

Usually varies from different areas. Here I charge 20 dollars per month for six months may thru october then 12 dollars the other six months. They buy the hay from me at going rate and supplies the mineral. I supply salt and all the labour

We are about 30 west of Woodward OK. I have room for 70 pairs to run May - October or 45 year round.

$375 to $400 to run a cow for a year around here. You might have trouble finding someone to do it for that. While I still think it is on the high side. There are some who pay $40 per month to summer a cow-calf.
