[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1541448, member: 1715"] Some comments posted recently that we should be buying "cheap" bred cows, :banana: but is there currently a profit in it? Ran some estimated numbers on buying short bred $700 cows weaning modest calves. My direct costs did not show a positive gross margin (I did charge for grass and hay and such) unless they stayed around to wean multiple calves, and/or there was a big bounce in cull prices. Da boys are most seem interested in big cows at the sales barn, so they must be betting on the bounce, or willing to just cover direct costs... What do your profitable trades look like? :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
