[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 506383, member: 7856"] What I call Backgrounding and what I did for a few years was buy feeder calves at 400-450 # and pasture them and grain them until they were 7-800# and then sell them as short-yearlings to neighbors for their feedlots to finish with the high amount of grain. I have even done it buying them in the fall and running on cornstalk fields with ground hay and a little grain., however I made better profit when I ran them on pasture with a little grain. Hope this helps. JLP [/QUOTE]
