[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 1068082, member: 5701"] We wouldn't be buying at sale barn, there are nice open heifers ready to breed in my area for $1000. I haven't seen any bred heifers in my area going for less than $1600 and most are $1700-$1900. I don't see prices going down anytime soon of course anything can happen but there is always some risk involved. Here's the real catch, I have to convince my friend that this is worth trying. I'm 45 and he's 75. It's his farm, facilities, hay and equipment. I do all his shots, vaccinations and help him anytime he's doing anything with the cattle and also help when I can with other farm chores. I also watch his place for him when he goes out of town. We developed a good friendship and I've never expected pay for any help because I want to do it and consider him a good friend and don't expect any pay at all. Some of you might have some more insight after reading this post. I was just thinking split the heifer cost 50/50 and he gets the 60% of the profit-- (hope for profit :). Maybe that still isn't fair for him? [/QUOTE]
