[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 899901, member: 17986"] I considered that. Our profit margin came from cutting out all the middle men. We grazed until 750, then put them on feed. Being a small family farm we could not lock in on feed prices. Our blend went from 135.00 per ton (low) to 245.00 (high). When we said we would have to increase the price to continue, rumors began that we were price gouging and becoming "uppity". I offered one guy, the original friend, an alternative. I told him to buy a yearling and keep him here. I would graze it for $10 a month. when he got ready to finish it he could buy the feed, use one of our feeders on a 2 acre pasture area, all for the same $10 per month. He declined. [/QUOTE]
