[QUOTE="Toad, post: 1246717, member: 20188"] I did weight gainers several year and did okay I guess. Guy dropped them off and provided grain all summer. Picked them up in the fall and payed me a set amount per lb they gained. It worked alright except I really hated being tied down with someone else's cattle. The last year I did it he brought them late after the grass had gotten knee deep and then I was feeding hay for weeks before he picked them back up. Thats when I decided I would just buy my own so I could have more control over what went on. I've got several smaller places rented where they don't want cattle wintered. What I've been doing and making decent money is to buy old broken mouth bred cows in early spring. Let them calve out and then sell the calves off in early fall. Let the cows go until the grass is gone and then sell them as open butcher cows. I have done better doing that then almost anything else. [/QUOTE]
