[QUOTE="calfbuyer, post: 942867, member: 18445"] This is good info guys. Growing up on a ranch, we always butchered the nurse cows calf or one with a broke leg or something that would make it bring less at the sale barn. All grown up with my own family now, I have tried it several ways: keep back a calf at weaning and feed him out, forfiting about 700$ then another 5-600in feed, then another 200 at the butcher. You can have 1500 in one pretty easy. I have went to local small feedlot and bought steers, that worked pretty good but expensive. I have bought left over 4-h and FFA steers, expensive. I don't know why it has never dawned on me to just go to the barn and buy a big fat, open heifer and feed her for a month or 6 weeks, right now you could probably buy a 1000lb open heifer for about 900 to 950, then 150 to 200 worth of feed and your done.
