[QUOTE="eric, post: 45655, member: 7"] My goal is to someday run around 150-200 hd. I also plan on this being a full time job, so I dont understand the need for another full time job if someone is running 400 hd. If you have 200 hd, couldnt you plan on selling [i]at least[/i] 100 calves a yr.? What were weaned calves selling for before the border was closed? With 200 hd, couldnt a guy plan on making about $50-$60K a yr. Granted, I have never sold any calves, but I have been to a few salebarns and noticed the 500-600 lb. calves going for the $500 to $600 range. If you could cut your own hay, do most of your own vetting, have most of your equipment already paid for and buy feed in the bulk rate, it seems a man could make a decent wage raising 200 hd. How farfetched an idea is this? [/QUOTE]
