[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1765748, member: 498"] It depends on what you think is big money for a steer. My neighbors sold 2 semi loads of steers. 45 days weaned with 2 rounds of shots for $2.31 a pound weighing 550 pounds. That is $1,270 a head. These are just steers headed to the feedlot. Could a person be competitive with some of those steers? You bet. Another neighbor's wife is involved with 4H and kids showing steers. I helped him work 250-300 freshly weaned calves. His wife called and said she needed 6 show steers. These are range cattle fresh out of the hills. We sorted out what we thought were the best 6 steers. That was late October. The following July those steers all finished at the top or close to the top of their class of market steers. They won 3 of the top 4 in the carcass class. [/QUOTE]
