[QUOTE="BrandX, post: 1458197, member: 24860"] Yep so that is what i am trying to do.. one of the things that is not working for us well is we are poor. so we have been buying random bred cows/heifers one at a time form sale barns( with all the obvious disadvantages that come with that.) so if we are already getting others rejects or questionable cattle why pay angus premiums? $1200 or a bred cow hat as ranchman90 says may produce a $650 dollar calf verse getting 3 corrientes for the same money that would generate 3 calves worth $1200(again to quote ranchman90). now of course 3 800 lb cows will eat more than a 1200 cow but perhaps some of the difference could be made up from underutilized grasses(love-grass). i have heard of people leasing them out of the rode circuit on something like a $35 per head per month.(perhaps a way to earn a little extra?) as far as the number(80) of head to acres available of course we will sell off animals to an appropriate level for our forages. we have sold some black corriente bottle babies for $500 in last year which is what i was getting for my angus calves. thank you everyone for the input. i love good deals but hate to be rushed into them.
