[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 605728, member: 7956"] The one time I bought feeder cattle for a short term I did real well. Bought a neighbor's calf crop, average 480lbs and paid $.98 across the board for steers and heifers. Kept them for 90 days, fed them little grain and hay. Don't remember what they averaged dollar wise, but they weighed 625, and I made $110/hd. Just happened to hit the market right. Fairly low when I bought, and went up afterwards. That fella did real well too. I'm kind of afraid to do it again, but this winter/spring might be the time to do it if cattle prices keep going down. [/QUOTE]
