[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17314"] Scott, it can be more iffy... and it depends on many things, one being the quality of your cattle... but, and as TOD said, just because you pay a bunch for some cow or bull, doesnt make it a good buy.. there is a learning curve in everything.. and it can be quite expensive if you are not careful in the cattle business... my suggestion is to start slow.. find someone in your area that you can ask questions and learn all you can from them... make a game plan and try to know all you can about it before buying your cattle.. if you plan to sell at the sale barn... buy accordingly... if you want to sell off your place or at a special sale, then do your homework, to see if it will work in your area and buy accordingly... know the market of your cattle before you buy... maybe some others will shed more light on this for you.. good luck gene > Gene, thanks.
