[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1383389, member: 25884"] @RM90; I was basically trying to present a hypothetical on the rate of gain and return on investment. We usually do better than that but we don't raise very many like that....I was trying to be very conservative on the amount the feeders make, to try to not have someone expect a big profit right off the bat. Because we do so few I am not an expert on that but have a retired veterinarian friend that buys about 60 or more in the spring and puts them out to pasture on family land and them sells in the fall. Yeah he got really burnt last year but before that said he made record profits... and I was trying to remember what he was telling us about rate of gain etc. My big thing was to maybe offer an alternative to just a cow/calf operation, and that he could realize some income in the interim... But the big thing...does he really WANT to have his own cows. [/QUOTE]
