[QUOTE="BrokeFarmerJohn, post: 1356086, member: 25791"] I still would like to know an formula for money in and money out threw winter, I basically know what the cattle will be this fall weight wise, my question is it worth letting them grow another 4 months threw the winter and maybe take them to market in the spring or next fall? the only thing holding me up is how much hay they would consume (total hay to get threw the winter minus cost of another few hundred pounds on the cattle) if it's worth fooling with. Any figures I come up with say it would be, keep two threw the winter and butcher one in the spring or early summer, the other next fall if I snip him. The work doesn't bother me, I'm hauling water and feed for the chickens anyway. [/QUOTE]
