[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 944605, member: 5783"] Wow, its been a year since I put this up. Well this year we culled hard and are down to 400 cows of our own and we brought in 700 custom cows and only have 60 heifers to breed, never did find anyone willing to do a lease to won deal. Found alot of guys looking to do a straight lease but I wanted to own them in the end.
