[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 277251, member: 1744"] You are playing the margin....between the higher priced lighter animal that you fatten up on pasture...for free, less the cost of maintaining the land and the lesser prices that the animal brings when larger. Hopefully you put enough weight on the critter and the weight/price difference (margin) is great enough for you to make a buck or two. Been told that 750# is the peak of the slide but with prices the way they have been for the last two years it could be higher. Big steers have been going for $100/m up here. Just my two bits worth...asked for or not! DMc [/QUOTE]
