[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 814182, member: 7856"] Growing corn this year probably wouldn't help much for these calves because at the earliest late August would be when you could harvest and that would only give you 30-45 days of corn foe these calves if you are going to butcher in October. Also if the calves weigh 600 in March you are brobaly looking at 1100-1200lb slaughter so if you are looking for 4 head at 600#/hd gain that would be 2400# gain and worse case scenrio of 5# corn /# gain you would need 12000# of corn or roughly 210 bushels of corn. At $8/ bu that is $1680. If you could get someone that has experience raising corn and do it 50/50 then you may have a break even situation of raising opposed to buying but unless you just wnt the experience of raising corn I would suggest just buying it.
