[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1265707, member: 14585"] No. It's not the dumbest idea, [b]as long as you go into it prepared[/b] and with your eyes wide open. Selling them before 120 days after calving would allow you to get a higher price as 3 in 1 packages (bred cow with calf) on most of them. And on the opens, it's still early enough to sell as open and breedable with calf at side to anyone willing to take a chance on them by putting them in with their bull. 3 x 120 = 360 days so 3 groups a year makes the math work. Your input per head would be lower. But total inputs of course would be higher, but more than offset with increased revenues. Or maybe you would want to start with open heifers, breed them to sell as bred heifers, calve out any you don't get your desired price on and take it from there. If you are willing to do the extra work you will be rewarded, at the very least with valuable experience. Thumbs up for your initiative and more power to ya. [/QUOTE]
