[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 1141258, member: 3235"] The only thing good about raising your own feed is that it will take you longer to go broke. Ha ha. Just kidding. The cattle feeding business is strictly a margin based business. You purchase your inputs for X add your costs and you sell the output for Y and hopefully the Y is the larger number. The better job you can do at controlling those costs will determine whether you make any money I don't recommend starting with Holsteins either. There is more management to them and in order to get top dollar for fed steins, you need to push them really hard on a really high energy ration for a long time in order for them to get enough cover so they can make choice grade.
