I would like to hear from anyone that buys calves in the fall and backgrounds them for sale in the spring. With the markets seasonal fluctuation here it seems like it may be very profitable. I am thinking about buy #400 herford steers in the fall, the .75 type. I think those #700 in better...

I felt unjustly persecuted because of my race, and I felt the main stream media was not helping and even made it worse. At least I had the internet to speak my mind :) . Then I tried and my comment was erased. It wasn't even bad, just people have been programmed to thing anything white...
