[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1189285, member: 1715"] Custom backgrounding is not common here. Most cow/calf operators are small and sell at the sales barn. A few are bigger and may sell on video. Backgrounding yards do exist but they usually buy mismanaged calves and make money on the marketing. A few feed calves to slaughter on a mix of local byproducts and ex dairy forages. The owners sometimes buy lake homes so they must be doing OK. Stockering is rare. Local habit is to hay off anything that does not have lots of trees on it. If there are a lot of trees than the deer hunters buy it... Even so, there is some serious $$$ to be made if you have the connections to get leased land. [/QUOTE]
