[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 500243, member: 5601"] Pete, I’m not sure what you are saying here, so let me try it this way. Re: By “not being utilized to its full capacity” exactly what do you mean? Is it fenced and cross fenced? Re: You are correct in saying preconditioning is profitable, but it all depends on the number of animals, equipment on hand and facilities to run a preconditioning program and a local place to market them. Not to mention with the cost of feed being what it is today, I’m not all that sure about the profitability part right now. Re: If he has pasture space that is not being utilized to full capacity, why not let the calves on the cows until they are at least 7 or 8 moths old? And then wean, castrate and vaccinate and hold them on pasture only for 45 days and then sell them as preconditioned. SL [/QUOTE]
