[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1468959, member: 16547"] Steve I have not done my taxes yet but I feel if I had the spot to dry lot cows next summer or just at least the wintering ground I think the broken mouth cows are the best buy with this cheap feed. Broken mouths with feed should only gain weight after calving. If calves are same price as what I sold for this year. 575# steers x $1.77 1 round off shots off the cow. Cull heifers I don't remember weights or price but it was $733/head on 3 different colors of short eared, midgets, junk! So if I could buy a broken/gummer good cow now for $1,000 bred for March/April. Feed/pasture at $.8/day for 300 days have $1240 in her, average $850/head on calves like this year and cow brings $.5/# at $1200 day of calf sale next October I think some decent money to be made. If your feeding 20 cows this winter why not feed 40? Bred heifers I think at today's price if buying the right kind will be money makers if this feeder market holds for 2-3 years yet. Them in between cow ages I'm not sold on buying. If I could have it my way I'd buy all coming 3rd calvers. You take the chances out that someone selling you a heiferette. Should be high chance she has calved ok twice and raised it. Them are the hardest to find tho. Gummers with TMR I think and ship her if best bet. Turn cheap bull in on them in case cow market does drop and calf her again. Leave you some options. [/QUOTE]
