[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 629915, member: 807"] I think the castration, worming, and shots might pay if you raise 5 to 6 wieght calves.... Most years we raise calves to 4 weights and ship em.....You see it works for us,as we can run more head of cattle per acre and get em bred back. Most any decent crossbred can raise a 400 lb calf no sweat, its that next 300 lbs that make a cow work, and were you as a producer spend the money. While you throwing around those money figures, did any of you figure in a dead calf loss. To each his own, you wish to jump through hoops to sell your heavier calves go for it. I think I will keep selling those good quality 4 weights that havent had any thing done to em. I sorta believe in the KISS theory. [/QUOTE]
