[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 22747"] The object is to get stocker cattle (500 lb steers) in the spring. Graze them through the spring and summer. Put on some cheap gains on grass. Then send them on to the feedlot to be finished. A person can do this on your own but it cost a lot of money to buy a couple hundred steers and there is the risk involved. Custom grazing reduces the risk and the capitol needed. My original question involved the wiegh points, shrink, etc. Also ideas for potential sources of cattle. As for improving my pastures for the winter. Some of my most productive pasture (and cheapest rent) is a duck hunting club in the winter. The cows would need to have web feet to survive there in the winter. Dave [/QUOTE]
