[QUOTE="MTplainsman, post: 469059, member: 7375"] Ok, I better explain a little more of my situation... I agree with keeping the ST cows till they won't produce any more or are gummers. I paid $1100 for them with gaurenteed calf at the side. Whe the prices where sky rocketing, that was one heck of a deal. I got my money out of them, but a third calf would make my profit of them for sure. They are now 12 and 13 yo, and though that isn't bad for "farmer" type cows, it is for "range" type cows, in which many of my Black ST cows are. My terrible problem however, is that I have to sell a large amount of these ST cows due to land payments, beginning expenses, and unrelated cattle expenses. To much to explain, but in order to keep back replacement heifers of my good genetics, and pay for all my other bills, I have to let most of these STs go. It is a BAD situation to be in and BAD choices to have to make, but if I am gonna try and keep going and make this all work, I have to let them go. Since I do, I have an opening for around 60 to 90 or so pairs, so leasing is the option I am trying to learn about. I could lease out the extra grass for the time being, but you only make enough money to cover taxes that way in this country, so that is not an option. [/QUOTE]
