[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1496631, member: 498"] I have done just that a number of times over the years. It always worked for me. You just need to avoid any really old cows. I have also bought thin empty cows in March. We would go to grass about April 10. Nothing gains on grass like a thin healthy mature cow. Mid June is the top of our kill cow market, so I would ship them then. A 1,000 pound cow that cost $.50 turns into a 1,200 pound cow worth $.65. Heavier cows being worth more money you not only gain the weight but the value of the pounds you originally bought. They also help by utilizing the abundance of grass in the spring. [/QUOTE]
