[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1704061, member: 19397"] I'd stay away from sale barn bulls. Why is he there? Sterile? Throws big calves? Politeness issues? I have never done that with calves, but a "quick" way to make some money is to sell off most of your calves and then retain a couple to sell as freezer beef. Selling off a bunch saves you hay, but the one or two you keep are going to be more valuable than 2, maybe 3, going to the sale barn. The downside to this is that you have to find buyers and have availability at a slaughterhouse. By doing this, though, I still made money on every LH animal that was on my place. [/QUOTE]
