[QUOTE="RanchMan90, post: 1383437, member: 25351"] Not critiquing your operation at all Jan. Is a calf making a dollar a day unrealistic if theyre gaining at least 1.5 lbs? If you don't put anything in to them you won't get anything out. One of the best lessons I learned was on a set of customer cattle to turn out in April, they didn't show up til June and the grass was already rank and layed over. They weighed 492 when they came in and by fall were pushing 650. The customer didn't send any hay or feed being there was still a lot of rank grass out there. They weighed 515 when they shipped out in January. A little supplemental protein would have turned those negative numbers into positives. [/QUOTE]
