[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 956170, member: 6713"] I just wrote a full page reply to this crap and i don't feel like writing it again. You want good 2yr old bulls with no feed in them then buy weaned calves and feed em hay and grass for two years and turn em out. Of course you better buy 10 if you want 6 good ones. Then you get to take the risk the seedstock guy takes every year. [b]There ain't no free lunch in the bull business.[/b] Somebody's gonna pay somewhere, and that's a fact! Probelm is i can't do that and make any money...........ya'll can't have it both ways. If you want yearlings ready to breed at 14 months they need some time at the feedbunk. I watched 7 or 8 coming 2yr old Limo bulls grassfed and developed slow on forage sell for the same or less than my 14 month olds who had been fed a reasonable ration in the pasture all winter. So why would i want to hold em for two years to make the same money? One last thought. The beef industry in America is based on cattle fattened in a feedlot and killed. Why would anyone not want a bull who has proved he can gain well on a grow ration for a few months. [/QUOTE]
