[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 690321, member: 7875"] I think there is more risk of "disaster" with stockers since they could theoretically all get shipping fever and die. A cow dying during birthing is a greater loss than one stocker, but that cow's birthing is very independent of all the others(unless you used a high BW bull on a group of heifers). Bankers around here don't seem to mind. The owner of the bank is one of the two biggest stocker operations in the county(the other is his neighbor, the sale barn owner). Of course, I'm not talking about borrowing money on stockers. I would rather build up a little along each year with the capital I had. That way, if everything died, I wouldn't owe any money with no way to repay like I would if I had borrowed. [/QUOTE]
