[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 146227, member: 193"] I am currently backgrounding my calves from a 300 head herd. It will return a nice profit only if you can work in truck load lots, 48000 lbs or 80, 600 lbs calves. Anything less and you are doing it for free. If you background you calves on pastue and bagged supplement it will only be for around 60 days then the pasture is free to be used by cows again. Why are you weaning 400 lb calves. Good mama cow and bull you should be weaning 600 lb calf at 7-8 months. Hope this helps, Johnny [/QUOTE]
