[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5163"] There is only one way that I would ever own a half a cow, if the plans were to flush her on a regular basis. This heifer would have to be a good one at best.Your friend I think wants you to feed and breed this heifer for him. If you do your own A.I. work then the cost of breeding would only be the semen cost. Now some Beefmaster semen is on the high side for I would be asking a lot of questions about that. Plus you do not now if the heifer will produce a good calf. Just because they cost alot does not mean they will produce a lot. That first calf will need to at least bring $3,000 for you to break even. Now if see is really that great then flushing her for her embroys might make a little money, if see produces at least ten or more good ones at a time. I would just by your own cattle and do not let your friend take you for a losing investment. > A friend is offering 1/2 ownship > on a heifer(beefmater).1,500.00to > own her and 300.00 for early > expense,and about 150.00 to breed > her this spring.Is this the way to > go to get in the cattle game. > thank you Debbie [/QUOTE]
