[QUOTE="bse, post: 1066046, member: 13989"] At the prices mentioned for the stockers you would invest $56,608 dollars making 7k over 83 days lets say you loose 2 cutting it to 5k in TN you may be able to do this 3 times for 15k gross per year. the cow way if you can get good 3 in 1s for $2000 it would be a $50,000 investment selling calves at 400lb grossing 19,800 you would show a gross profit in the 3rd year of 10,400. after 3 years you are up 45k on stockers and 10,400 on cows but you still have the factory. Gross profit really doesn't mean anything except down at the co op early in the morning. Now if you figure the cost in do you own this land (taxes) or do you lease it (how much) you may get away with not as much fertilize on bottom ground then the cost to maintain the animals id think 50 per head for vaccinating and minerals then hauling and just all the things that happen. I know that's not all and the net will vary from place to place I think you could make money either way. if I owned it id do cows if I leased it would be stockers you never know when you may have to leave.
