[QUOTE="calfbuyer, post: 943772, member: 18445"] I have been kicking this same question around for several years now. In the past, i have kept back a calf a year at weaning and fed him out and usually split him with another family. I have to agree with many others that the quality of the home raised beef by far exceeds the quality that you buy in the store (if its a good calf and you feed him right). I have my own grinder/mixer and make my own feed (used to be cheaper, its really not anymore.) I also agree with others that you could take that 7-8 hundred and go fill the freezer with beef and probably have a little cash left over. I'm gonna have to agree completely with SBJ and Dave on this. I think the way to go is to buy a big 9 weight steer or a big fat open heifer and feed her for 6 weeks, then we're done less time and money invested and good meat in the end. Thanks for all the posts they helped me make up my mind on this matter. [/QUOTE]
