[QUOTE="Toad, post: 1297623, member: 20188"] Well first let me say my advice is worth about as much as used hay, if you get my drift. What I've been experimenting with is buying old cows bred 6-9 months. Calve them out, keep them 6-8 months, sell the calves, sell the cows as open butcher cows, repeat. So far I've been about able to double my money on every animal. For example, I bought a 1130lb black full mouth cow on 11/21 for $825. She had a black heifer calf yesterday. I will probably sell both around the end of August and unless the market collapses I should make decent money. Now thats what I'm doing but it probably isn't for everyone. But I do think the market right now does present a number of different buying opportunities. [/QUOTE]
