[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1631462, member: 39695"] If you buy them right, hold them over winter, calve them out, don't loose any, and have a nice matched group to sell at grass time. Yeah, you probably could make $50-$125 a cow. But [b]not flipping them in two weeks[/b] It's a skill like everything else. I know a cattle buyer/trader (like him or hate him you got to respect his ability). He buys 2-3 pot loads of mrkt cows at sales every day, six days a week. He can look at a cow and tell where she is just full or five months bred. The potential breds get bought under an "X" then preg checked after the sale. If their bred they go home until he has a matched group for a bred cow sale. If there open they go in with the rest of the mrkt cows he bought that day destined for the packers. He's probably been buying cattle for close to fifty years. [/QUOTE]
