[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1156509, member: 4674"] Every one has their own idea of how to manage. I have a friend that runs a small herd. He sells calves at 6 months regardless of the weight. He never keeps a replacement heifer. He keeps a cow that works and sells the cows that weans a small calve and buys another cow that is old enough to start contributing at once. He has shown me check stubs of 400 lb calves that were over $1000. Also another one that I know does the net bio program. His calves may sell for a $100 more then the first friend I told you about. The net bio seller I would suspect has more than a $100 in each calve as you have to have them on feed, weaned, vaccinated with the required vaccine. How do I mange not very well. Try to do everything by myself and its get tiring. I talk about selling and doing nothing for a while. I am focusing in on the doing nothing and spend about 5 hours on it and working for 4 hours a day working on the farm. Only thing about doing nothing you never know when you get done. I get on a tractor to shred and I may go for 4 hours. My azz wears out before I get through. Well 5 more hours Monday doing nothing and then 4 hours shredding. On selling cattle I load and carry them to a sale I have 4 auction barns with in 20 miles of my place so that is the most convenient way to market what I sell. [/QUOTE]
