[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1140778, member: 17986"] The difference in two years. Last year corn prices were high. Calf prices dropped because the cost to feed them out had skyrocketed. This year corn is cheap and feeders can afford to feed. Cattle prices are setting records. Granted the drought and low cattle numbers are in the mix. It is hard to get an average on whether is would be cheaper to grow or by. Weather, yield, demand, fuel price increase are inconsistent. We just learn to step up to the plate and swing at the pitches we are thrown. My opinion is that I need to be as self sufficient as I can be. My grandfather raised the majority of his feed and did well. My friends who have been able to last for years are frugal and as self sufficient as possible. The one change I have seen locally in feeding is that most of us here have incorporated brewers grain into our plans. [/QUOTE]
