[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1372472, member: 22295"] There is no secret. The way you make money with any type of cattle that are poor performers is as a feeder you buy them cheaper to offset the increased cost of feeding them. That is the reason you see docks on certain cattle when you attend a sale. You can pay too much for top producing cattle also and not make money or as much. As a buyer you have to consider the type, the cost to feed them and then buy what will make you the most profit. It will vary and why some feeders change what they feed. There were years my BIL would buy all heifers as stockers and feeders because the difference between steers and heifers made it where they would make more money. Then other years as the difference would decrease he would buy steers. Feeding Longhorns and Corrientes is different and many don't allow for the increased cost of gain and only do it one time. I sold what I fed to individuals and did good. [/QUOTE]
