[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 113739, member: 43"] This has always been a topic that's interested me, but more along the lines of buying & selling skinny but healthy cows that just need worming, grass & management. But without getting into any of the other considerations and assumptions in 1848's post, and not disputing them either, I'd just guess that when ChrisB said "if you have a cheap feed source......" he was thinking more in terms of say, $5 per cwt for corn, or even less if well positioned and able to buy in bulk or are a vertically integrated farmer/rancher. Say you can get bulk corn at $2.50 a bushel (not unheard of), say 55 pounds per bushel, that's $4.54 per cwt before freight. [/QUOTE]
