[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1065929, member: 17025"] I find this question very interesting, as I will be facing it soon myself. So I appreciate hearing the feedback, and maybe giving the OP something to use or at least consider. Let's play with some hypothetical numbers. Let's assume you run 55 575# stockers for 83 days gaining 1.5 pounds per day. Say you buy them at $179.33 per cwt and sell them at 700# for $165.53. You gross $7K. The question becomes how many times in one year could you repeat this? Assuming all goes as plan. :nod: Say you buy 25 bred cows with a calf, and drop new calves 200 days later. Can you run those cows 200 days? If so let's assume you sold those 25 calves at 400# for $198.55 per cwt. You gross almost $20K in 200 days, still have the cows and a new crop of calves. Same assumption. :) You'd have to run the stockers through three times to equal the gross of the cow/calf. Realize though you got some capital tied up and at risk with those cows. :drink: :cowboy: Not outside the realm of possibility. What do you guys think?? [/QUOTE]
