[QUOTE="regolith, post: 759520, member: 9267"] Have a good contract, making it clear who bears what risk. In one I looked at the other day (for mature dairy cows) any deaths were at the owners risk up to 1%, thereafter the grazier would be required tp compensate for those animals. Usually the grazier will have to make up any shportfall in feed owing to drought etc. My calves leave the farm when they're fully weaned, about five months old and come back at 21 - 22 months - two months before calving. 'Average' stock management won't get repeat custom from me. If you can't see the diference between these two images of the same calf I might be dubious about whether you'd be excellent enough for my animals: [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=60716]viewtopic.php?f=8&t=60716[/url] The company I have had heifers with for three seasons (and the animal pictured went there earlier this month; I won't be sending any more to the farm where that photo was taken) bases their fees on weight gain, so the owner pays for the growth their cattle are making, not a set fee per animal.
