[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1794036, member: 1715"] Running both cows and stockers allows you to protect the cow herd during a mild drought. Stockers get a ride to somewhere that has cheaper feed. Usually if you don't have feed, it is also high priced to purchase, so you have to do the math on what size and what kind and how many you can still make a profit on. Feeding stocker and feeders can cause big losses at times. You may not want any of them. Light wt. male calves were the most profitable buys here last fall. Sounds like you capitalized on that. My guess is 2023 will be the same. [/QUOTE]
