[QUOTE="SJB, post: 1251274, member: 23940"] No need to apologize! I figure old hands at this business deserve to be cranky! :-) The marketing is the easy part to me, but I have a big network of friends and family, and that helps. As far as CL, I wholeheartedly agree. If it was between buying from a sale and CL, I'd go to the sale. Luckily, I've got a couple producers around me that I've helped out over the years and I think will help me and shoot me straight, much like you folks are doing here. As to the cow/calf deal, that is exactly where I want to go, and the kids are the reason. I just know I don't know enough yet to make that jump. At least with a few freezer steers if it don't work out, I can just throw a big bbq for my family and church and chalk it up to experience. At least I'll have tried. I can't see much downside to doing it, and there is a whole lot of upside potential. I cannot grow my own corn. It'd be fun to try but I just ain't going to have the time or resources to try.
