[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1838031, member: 42715"] Nope. And he could be right. But ive done nothing for my cheap cows except tubs, cubing them about once a month, and fence mending. Only give blackleg shots to calves. Only preg late. More money and ‘better’ cows would cost more labor and make a huge loss for me if things went wrong. And statistics, you take a bigger risk if one of your ‘fewer’ good cows die. Big loss verse cheap cows x more calves type of thing. I did get lucky on my cheap cows. Had only a 21 day calving window. I got $5450 back from selling 6 out of 14 head of cattle that I paid about $5100 for, though, so I might not be an uninformed buyer;). We’ll see how the remaining 8 ‘cheap’ cattle perform. Will post next years results in my other chat. Then folks can decide for themselves. But His numbers could be better, no doubt. if my Wagyu thing doesn’t work out and my life ever slows down, I think I might just try the Corrientes thing for fun some day. [/QUOTE]
