[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1064685, member: 6291"] If you have a specific example with some numbers it might help because "a lot" is different in every ones mind. On just 22 calves, from the weights given, I don't see that much of a margin to be made by the time you account for labor, feed, a place to keep them, risk, ect. If they were all tiger stripe heifers and you were going to keep them thru winter and sell in the spring as ready to go to work... totally different story. If you were keeping 300 head thru the winter and selling them direct... again... totally different story. For the average cow/ calf person... what little money could, potentially, be earned... its not worth it in my opinion. Leave the feeding out to those who do that. [/QUOTE]
