[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1548655, member: 6543"] I know a guy who even did that with his goats....all his females were et recips for another breeder for a year or two... it takes top quality management....folks are not gonna pay a premium for dead calves or dinks who did not get enough to eat... if you do stockers...a relationship with your source is important...I would prefer calves that were preconditioned and who did not go through the sale yard to pick up every disease known to bovines...not losing one to sickness will pay a good premium on high quality preconditioned calves. figure out what your max stocking rate is....I see far too many people who have much more livestock than they have feed and that is a dead expense...
