[QUOTE="Rod, post: 335800, member: 26"] I've averaged a net of around $125 a head for the last three years on steers. I buy @ 250lb to 330Lb steers during march and sell @ the 550 to 600lb range around september. Its alot of work when you receive them as you will have to vaccinate them immediatlely and get them started on a good recieving feed for the first couple of weeks. They are at a high level of stress from weaning and going through the sale barn and are exposed to all the illness at the salebarn, so you can expect a 10% deathloss. Medicine,feed,deathloss,sales commissons and transport cut the bottom line pretty quickly, and thats not even taking your time into consideration! Markets got alot softer lately so i'm not sure if I'll be in the game this year. [/QUOTE]
