[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 503220, member: 4362"] My cousin does this and has done so for over 20 years. He has some unfair advantages over most people but he uses these advantages to make it work for him. According to him, he said he will net $40 per head. This is a year end year out average over several years. He has lost his shirt on some but bought some pretty nice equipment on others. You got to have the numbers and you got to keep your death loss as low as possible. I definitely would not do it unless I had a good vet or knew a lot about treating illness. He prefers to background heifers since they can be turned into brood cows or sold as bred heifers if things go south. [/QUOTE]
