[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1829720, member: 498"] I don't know if that is exactly true. I buy lots of cheap cows. And I would bet that my profit margin this last year are as high as anyone. Yesterday I bought 3 cows. A big raw boned Hereford cow 6 months bred who was empty empty. People didn't like her looks. She weighed 1,160. some feed she will weigh 1,400+ easy. I got her for $1,010. Less than 24 hours on feed and water she looks a lot better. A 6 month bred black cow who weighed 1,315. She has long toes on her back feet. A couple minutes in the chute with a set of loppers and she will have shorter toes. Only cost $1,125. That is $0.85 a pound. She will kill for that. And a nice looking black whiteface cow bred 7 who weighed 1,370. She cost me $1,350. I bet those 2 cheaper cows make every bit as much money as the more expensive one does. All 3 aged as being 8-9 years old. [/QUOTE]
