[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 141115, member: 807"] Face it folks, until the market is willing to pay for better gentics, an programs like Vac-45 like Scottys using very few producers are going to bother. When we hit the down side of the cattle market all us may have to use Vac-45 programs. Now at 10 cent a pound extra for Vac 45 calfs, a 600 pound animals is going to bring $ 60 extra over a sale barn calf. So for $60 dollars you are going to hold the calf longer, do all the shots dehorning and feeding for 45 days. Thats going to eat into $60 quickly, oh by the way add your labor, and fuel when you do the work up.... Anybody see where I am going with this. Personally I would sell at a lighter weight straight of the cow, and that way I can run more cows per acre, have more calves and make a higher profit per acre. [/QUOTE]
