[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1782775, member: 25299"] I would say the yearlings are a good option, but how much do you know about finishing yearlings? When you say "and let them grow," is that the plan to buy at X weight and sell at X++ only on pasture? Assuming you get 5 yearlings at 1000 pounds and sell for 1300# , you'll make 1500# at whatever the market pays. A cow calf pair, or better a 3 in 1 pair, will put 50% of your initial investment back in your pocket in 6 to 7 months when you sell the side calves. Right around the time, the cows are dropping the second calf. Assuming you sell the side calves around 700 to 800 pounds, you'll realize 600 to 900 more pounds in sales and you still have the cows with claves on the side to cash in 7-8 months. Of course, then winter hits and you may have to feed hay, so you'll have to figure in that cost too. [/QUOTE]
