[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1713815, member: 1715"] Thanks SOB. I love Scheifelbin's tour followed by free fish stick or prime rib dinners. Frank is a St Thomas bud. I have been buying U$S 4500 to 5000 bulls, so a three year break even on the steer premium only, if a fat bull can cover 80 cows. I have one hay feeding neighbor who has retained Scheifelbin influenced heifers and had a lot of breed back problems. "Too much power" for his system. Another neighbor feeds a lot of corn silage to expensive powerful cows and seems to avoid the breed back problems. I think my annual cow feed bill would go up much more than the steer selling price premium. Calving out 80 cows to get 36 steers, with a feed cost increase in $50/cow/year, means I spend $4000 to get back $1000, ignoring the higher bull s cost. Free dinners can be expensive... [/QUOTE]
