[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1549630, member: 498"] I have made good buying older cows to resell. Not all cull cows are real old, sick, or ill tempered. I know big ranches that sell all cows when they get to 10 years old. I know areas with real tough environment that will eat a cow up. Buying those cows and put them on lush pasture that involves very little travel and they will do good. Mostly I bought older bred cows with the plan to get one calf out of them and sell both, but I have bought older pairs too. I have also bought thin cows in the late winter with the plan to sell in June (the top of my hamburger market). I wouldn't buy in the fall for this plan as the wintering cost would eat you up. The closer to grass on this plan the better. The real secret is to be able to tell a thin cow from a real old cow or sick cow. There is as much money made in the buying as there is in the raising and selling. [/QUOTE]
