[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1623621, member: 498"] Yearlings around 400? Do you mean 400 pounds or $400. 400 pounds is way too light for a yearling and $400 is too cheap for anything of quality. What is the plan? Buying 400 pound calves to sell as yearlings can work. The right calves for the right price and an inexpensive feed program. Buying $400 or 400 pound heifers with the plan to raise up and breed is going to be a losing situation. Awfully late in the year for 2nd trimester cows. Unless you enjoy summer calves. Here an $800 -$900 cow 7 or 8 months bred will be broken mouth. Buying older (not old old) cows can work real well but only pay a couple cents over kill price. [/QUOTE]
