[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 213235, member: 1017"] I'm not sure about your part of the country, but according to the way the markets have been here, unless you got your feed for free, you should have sold them 300-500 lbs ago. 500-600 lb'rs seems to be the magic weight to sell at to maximize profit IMHO. We used to raise them up to 700-900lbs then sell. But the last few years we've found we can maximize profits but cutting input costs (feed after weaning). We wean at 6-7 months and background for 30-45 days, then to the market they go. Don't know anything about commission firms, we take ours to market ourselves. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
