[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1565605, member: 24538"] A buddy of mine calves in the spring and weans in the fall. He holds them till spring to sell. He feeds them free choice hay and a couple pounds a head of cotton seed everyday. He averages around a couple pounds of gain a day. He gets a around $300.00 more for his calves in the spring opposed to selling in the fall. Based on that. With cheap hay and cheap cottonseed it looks like a guy could buy big calves in the fall and feed them through winter and do pretty well. My climate is pretty mild through winter, weather isn’t an issue most times. Might be easier than running cows year round. Thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
