[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 575220, member: 1974"] You got 2.50/lb and only made about $100 on him??????? Many of the older teens were wiping their eyes when they loaded their steers one last time. If you didn't care a bit I'd wonder about you. The sad feeling should go away in a week or two, just remember he has done his job--what he was raised for. Can you afford to buy a heifer, feed her for the next 16-20 months before she calves, then the calf for another 16 months before you sell it? The heifer will likely have a very different personality and you'll never get your money back on the heifer if you only cleared $100 after receiving $2.50/lb for your steer. [/QUOTE]
