[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1332606, member: 24538"] Let me preface this by say I know nothing of your grass or what summer gains are like in your area Just irrigated mountain pasture should grow good grass April 1 - sept 1 150 days at 2# of a gain per day = 300# Buy at 500# in April Sell at 800# sept 1 (Labor Day) With the market it's a gamble whether you make any money or not Today's market 500# calf will cost 900-1000 800# around 1100-1200 Come fall and prices drop as expected it won't be good Sickness, poor gain, meds, death loss could be a wreck. In a more stable market with good calves and good grass it'd work I think [/QUOTE]
