[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 868735, member: 17113"] I only have 10 cows, so am no means a large herd. But, I found selling the calves as calves provided me the least money in my pocket. I have spent some time, blood, sweat and tears getting a freezer beef business going. Now I don't have to worry, my return customers are in line waiting (they pay $200.00 non refundable deposit each spring). People call about getting a freezer beef and are put on a waiting list. This has afforded me the highest profit margin but it does mean I have cows in one pasture, feeder calves in another pasture and right now I have weaned calves in the barn and an adjoining set of corrals. I haul to slaughter 11-11-11. I am charging this year $2.25 a pound hanging weight, customer pays their processing. I provide a history of their calf, birth, any shots and they can visit the farm but only a couple customers have with their children. I don't have a sow herd anymore, but do sell usually a minimum of 12 hogs per year also. Hogs this year were $1.90 a pound hanging weight customer paying processing. [/QUOTE]
