[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1849963, member: 39373"] So the home place has been empty for a solid month and the grass has really taken off! I'm on the fence about telling my story about the home place. I'll decide after a while if I wanna share or not. Anyway! I bought 3 calves today to graze. Average 300lbs give or take. I've got 2 good heifers and 1 bull who's now wearing a band after wrestling them big old testicles. BOY was he well off in that department for a 300lb calf! Had to put em thru the band one at a time. I've not really been in the stocker game, other than a couple I bought last year as an experiment. Couple heifers that did real well for me. Ya'll probly remember em. The crossbred and the baldy. The crossbred won that profit experiment by a long ways. These 3 are good solid black calves. 2 solid black heifers. And the baldy steer now. Actual purchase price of $938 bucks each. I've got a tag, wormer, and shots in em. And 1 band. So I'll figure $955 each with transportation. Gonna creep feed em for a couple few weeks to get em coming to me. The south acre seems to be holding them. Glad I made that minor improvement a while back. Once they are running for feed, I'll turn em to graze about 20 acres in rotation. Plan is to cut the other 30 acres for hay. I plan on getting 2 or 3 more calves to put with em. Sell date late fall.....
