[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1722131, member: 498"] Learn to be fluid. If old Bessie is raising a good calf every year but you are losing money. Sell Bessie and her calf. There is always some sector of the cattle business which will make you money. Since 1996 I have raised cow/calf, stockers, back to cow calf, bred heifers, one and done, under priced purchased heifers, one and done again. This year over priced hay has me on the side lines. But I still bought some small cheap #2 cattle. Small cattle don't eat as much so hay isn't killing me. Improving on them as once spring arrives people will be wanting cattle to go grass with. Learn to research and push a pencil. Figure out what the best markets and how you can capitalize on them. Figure out where the worse markets to sell are and go buy there. Selling and buying are two of the most important ways money is made in this business. [/QUOTE]
