[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 728738, member: 7509"] Yes, as I tried to qualify above, the profit only works if you have hay to get them to grass and grass to get them to summer. I agree that planning on selling them as pairs is risky. Selling a cow for hamburger is not risky and will get your initial investment back. Selling a 400 lb calf at 1.10+ in July is not too risky and where the profit is. If you can't get them both to mid summer without spending a lot of money then this is not a good plan for you. Money is not free. This is really just a way of selling and turning a profit on your HAY & GRASS, IF you have excess right now until midsummer. The cattle are just the marketing vehicle for that hay and grass. If many people in your area do not have the hay and grass to get them to summer then this is why they are selling so cheap. jmho.
