Is there profit in feeding out cattle when you have to buy 100% of your feed? I know the market (both feed and cattle) goes up and down; but were are talking on average. Everyone I talk to says that in order to make money you have to have tillable to produce the feed. But there would be no point in feeding cattle out if you didn't add any value to your product. So what are your thoughts on this subject? The cattle would be Holstien steers on full grain. I'd also have the option to buy beet pulp, sweet corn silage, and wet cake. Thanks for the input and advice.
