What are the biggest advantages and disadvantages of dry lotting beef cows?
As pasture prices continue to increase and as grain (corn) prices remain low, producers will look to lower production costs, especially feed cost and dry-lotting cows may be an option. If you do dry-lot cows, it would be important that the lot be big enough or you have an adjacent pasture that can be used as an exercise lot. When you indicate dry-lotting cows, I assume that cows may have calves at their side and breeding may occur in the lot.
