Hello, I am new here and looking for advice. I have a friend that has for sale 100 bred heifers. They are all angus cross and about the fanciest set of heifers you will see. He wants $1,800/heifer for them. They are around 1000lbs and set to calve in feb/march.
I do not come from a cow/calf background more of a feedlot guy and my family dispises all that has to do w/ cows. However they said if I wanted to buy them thats fine (im just starting out). I have tons of stalks to winter them on as well as a place to calve them and lots of frineds that will help me get all of it done. What do you guys think the market will be for cow calf pairs next spring? what about bred cow calf pairs? Can I make money assuming I have cheap easy access to hay ect.??? Only looking to buy 20-30 and I dont want to lose a pile of money my first year out of college.
Thanks!
