[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1850144, member: 39373"] So a bit more on this. Thoughts please!! [USER=6291]@Brute 23[/USER] I know your feeding yours and I'm watching your thread. [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] I know u have a thread about futures. Any others please chat away as well!! So I plan on selling these calves, mix of heifers and steers, towards end of September. But may hold em a bit longer if grass holds. I suspect I may be able to hold them til as late as November if need be. I'm hoping to get them to 600-700lbs from 300lb start weight. I realize I don't have a large group but that's OK. I'll have 6 or 7 to test the waters so to speak. I really think I have enough grass for a couple more. But water is an issue. Don't wanna run out. Will they gain 2lbs a day on spring flush grass? I did not implant, as I have hopes that replacement heifer prices will be high. I can't make heads nor tails of what cattle are projected to be worth September thru November. (That's what cattle futures are right???) I DO HAVE some leftover 20% cubes from winter. I'm feeding them a bit now to get em trained to come to the pens/feedbunks. I have about ½ a ton left. About $180 worth at my old contract price. If I hand feed, that should last quite some time as well as help em when the spring flush starts playing out. Anyway. Tell me all about it guys and gals. What am I missing? Would like to turn these $950 calves into $1500-1600 calves [/QUOTE]
