[QUOTE="OLD DUSTY, post: 876289, member: 16496"] Here is my two cents. I run cow-calves not stockers for what it's worth. STOCKERS: I would guess 3 bales of hay to be plenty, your feed should be closer to $8/50lb, your selling price for 700lb feeders should be around $1.15+. If your rye grass does it's job you will feed less hay and feed than you have budgeted. I started with a few stockers many moons ago to get some practice, I think for the first go round I would buy a little heavier calf and keep them for a shorter time. JMO I think your budget on cow-calf would be more like- buy bred $700 sell pair $900. It's hard to buy cheap breds and flip them with much profit per head. Have fun and remember this is the educational phase and education can be expensive. AAAAAND YES YOU ARE OFF YOUR ROCKER, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US RAISING CATTLE. :welcome: [/QUOTE]
