[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 56558, member: 13"] You've received some good advice; let me add another comment. Look for ways to add value to your calves. Here in OK our state cattlemen's group has a Beef Quality Assurance program. If a rancher enters his cattle into that program, he agrees to vaccinate the calves, wean them, and, I think, provide info on genetics. He can then sell them with other ranchers' calves in special sales sponsored by the cattlemen's group. They consistently bring more money than similar calves at the regular sale. I don't know if TN has something like that? Check into some sort of state-sponsored retained ownership program. If you're raising good cattle, you can really benefit from owning your own cattle all the way to the rail. Our state assn also has a replacement female sale every year. We've bought heifers from some customers, developed them and sold through that sale and did OK. Good heifers are selling at a premium these days. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
