[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1204897, member: 2905"] If you have an economical feed source, those thin broke mouth breds will really turn a flip with good nutrition. Sounds like you are buying them for their kill value. Anytime I can buy a decent medium to heavy bred cow for her kill value, will buy her. With newborn calves worth $3-400/hd and value will increase $3/day for at least 6 months afterwards there is little downside to that buy. Possibly look at a silage/ddg/corn stalk ration for economy or just silage+ protein for faster growth. Get her slick looking and heavy bred by spring and won't be hard to sell her when grass is green or can calve her out then sell later. Have several options with them when get them slick and past winter. [/QUOTE]
