[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1848005, member: 38595"] They seem to be much cheaper at the two sales I've been attending. Colored heifers around 800 pounds around $2 if I'm remembering correctly. If not cheaper. But like you said, there haven't been many of them. On the other hand, young thin breds have been 1300 to 1800. Takes a real good one to bring over 2000. I remember my papaw getting $3500+ per pair in 2014 or 2015, whichever was my first year here. I also considered buying thin slaughter cows and making them fat, then selling. Roughing the figures and with the present slaughter market that'd make $750+ per head in however long it took. I figure it could happen in 90 or 120 days. Is that a realistic time frame is my question. I bigtime appreciate all of yall weighing in. I do think the heifers route will take more time than I want to commit to them, but it does offer a couple options. I could always keep them open and finish I suppose. [/QUOTE]
