[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 168091, member: 43"] T-bone, I guess you'd have to decide on that. I'd guesstimate it to be about a 5 to 6 hour haul (each way), under pretty ideal conditions, if you're from down south. Not to stick my nose in your business, but it seemed to me that you expressed interest in backhoeboogie's post about the Stephenville auction. Reading between the lines of his post, I think he might have been suggesting that you try to buy the baby calves (let's assume bulls) in your area say for the $50 you had mentioned and then "flip" them soon thereafter up in Stephenville for say $100. Riskier deal than I would be interested in with baby calves, not to mention not wanting to spend all that time riding in a truck burning high priced fuel. But that's just me, and from time to time I've been accused of being conservative. :) I do know a family that raises and feeds out Jersey as well as Holstein steers, but they do it for local sale and for keeping their six grown children's freezers stocked. Good luck to you in any event. AZ [/QUOTE]
