[QUOTE="denoginnizer, post: 214950, member: 1096"] I had about 50 calves pre-condtioned last year. Some things I learned . First , I waited to long to sale the calves . A friend and I were suppose to be working together in order to sell a full load. He wouldnt make up his mind to sell after the 45 days because the market was off slightly. This ended up costing us big. 45 days is plenty of time . Second , I put some light weight calves in with the others and they didnt gain well. Also, if you lose one or two it will put a hurting on your profit. Acidosis was a big issue .Finally , my calves gained well but a neighbors didnt gain well at all. After i subtracted out the feed cost, yardage, meds ,hay for sick animals, I didnt see it being a 89 dollar profit. Just some things to think about. [/QUOTE]
