[QUOTE="BC, post: 1137038, member: 67"] With reduced cattle numbers, who is going to buy and what is going to eat the hay? Too many around here already doing what you suggest. Roan, there are options like older pairs or making steers out of big headed, big, nutted bull yearlings. I think you are too late in the season to buy older, heavy bred cows. Not enough time to calve out and grow a calf before fall. In addition, that older cow may not have enough teeth to eat and maintain her flesh and then you have a thin packer cow to sell. Here in East Texas, we see some of these bull yearlings that I mentioned. They will upgrade and will look a lot better fat and a steer. A man told me that you have to have vision to buy those kind of yearlings. Been watching him do it for years now. If you go that route, I want an invite to when you serve calf fries. [/QUOTE]
