[QUOTE="angie1, post: 576306, member: 3886"] If you don't have a hard time accessing that acerage in the winter (can you get a tractor with hay to them, can you provide a source of water to them), then look at getting weaned steer calves yet this fall. In the fall they are down in price from spring. Figure the cost of buying hay, your time, rent and elec. Having that corn feild will help. Buy a beef breed ~ they will hold better through the winter. Don't give them their shots if they have not already had them. I would for sure worm them. If you are going to sell in the spring as opposed to finishing, maybe look to buying black (ouch). If you are going to finish them out, buy any color. Looks the same when the hide comes off. They can grow through the winter, you finish next spring/summer and butcher in the fall ~ sell in halves and quarters. Just another idea. Protien blocks yes if your hay is not sufficient ~ if it is, cut that cost as well. [/QUOTE]
