    Hey everyone, havent posted on here in forever and i know the milk board doesnt get much attention so here it goes.

    I thought i had this figured out

    Ok so i have been buying 250lb feeders and feeding them to around 400lbs, now i know sometimes things go wrong and you are lucky to break even. But i guess my question is what is my best bet to do on cattle? Like buying skinny 500lbers and filling them back out etc, etc.
