[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1668229, member: 32659"] I’ve been long weaning a few years now and it’s a gamble. I can feed the calves from mid November to mid March for about 75-90 cents a day. They gain pretty good and grow allot of frame during this time. Once they go to grass the gain is less but doesn’t cost anything out of pocket. While the price per pound goes down the calves bring more per head and this ads up quick if you have very many. The question is could I sell the calves sooner and do something with the free space to make more than keeping the yearlings. For me the answer is nothing that I’m interested in doing. I’m open to ideas though. Here it takes about 4-5 acres per cow and 1-2 per yearling. [/QUOTE]
