[QUOTE="stocky, post: 190062, member: 1150"] Auctionboy, you have a plan that works very well at certain times. I have done a version of that. Buying 3 teated cows, cows with 1 or 2 mastitas quarters, off colored hosteins bred to a holstein bull, horned holsteins, that type of cow that sells down close to slaughter price. I have made great money doing it and your numbers are correct. The difference was that if the calf was a bull, I raised it on the cow until 500 lbs and then sold it and slaughtered the cow. The problem is that in my part of the country, several other people started doing it also and now, those cows cost way too much money to be profitable. The cows that used to cost 500, now cost 900-1100 because people are hoping for a heifer calf. The plan is good, it all depends on the timing and the price of the cow. [/QUOTE]
