[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 867047, member: 8382"] i haven't bought any 3 wts in years. i like to have wheat pasture, good grass hay and medicated calf starter. one of the problems (for me anyway) was getting them to eat. if they won't eat they go down hill pretty quick. i have less trouble with 5wts but probably could make more money on lighter cattle, maybe or maybe not. death loss sure cuts into your bottom line. EDIT i forgot i did buy ten light weight heifers awhile back from a freind that manages the sale barn. they split the pairs and he bought the calves and he was going to keep them but decided against it(drought) so he sold them to me, but he had already straightened them out, so i had no problems. from time to time you can pick up a few dried out calves at the sale barn but you have to set thru a lot of sales.
