[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1744879, member: 498"] Actually Best and I are fairly close to each other. Best do you go to Caldwell or Vale? Think about heavier heifers for the locker beef rather than holding them over the winter. The old one and done cows work well for me. But you will need to feed for a while as you need to buy them in mid winter. Buy later results in too small of calves come sale time. I averaged paying about $850 for heavy BM cows in February to mid March. BM pairs right now at $1,350+. Of course those are this year's prices which are subject to change in coming years. And you need to have the cows gone by the first of September. Cull cow prices drop faster in the fall than calf prices. Buying light bull calves and cut outs from the larger groups has worked well for me too. [/QUOTE]
