[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1104742, member: 1715"] \ 1) Could be some money in buying summer calves off the farm. I have not run the numbers. Question is why. 2) Some will buy weaned calves (who grew out on "free" whole milk) and fill them with a high concentrate or by product diet. Question is do you have an angle on the byproduct cost ? 3) Their rumen seems to mature slower than beefers, but GOOD 6 wts. steins can gain 2# a day on stocker quality pasture. Question is what is their value of gain compared to a beefer ? [/QUOTE]
