[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 678149, member: 2653"] This niche market strategy is not for the faint of heart. It would seem that it's as easy as buying the pair, letting the calf grow out some and then selling them seperately making a profit. NOPE. As mnmtranching stated, the pair is there for a reason or the owner would do the same thing. The only time I've seen people make decent money ($200+) is back about 5 years ago when the price was higher and, more importantly, the pairs were sold only because the owner didn't have enough grass. If you can find pairs where you know the owner and the reason for selling you may have a chance. More likely, though, your buying someone else's problem while their taking the check to the bank. Just this past week a group of hereford cow pairs with braford calves sold at the local stockyard. They were 3 to 6 years old and bred back. The price was decent, but if something bad happens - your stuck with a 6 year old commercial hereford cow - which around here is not worth much. [/QUOTE]
