[QUOTE="SPJ, post: 982505, member: 18271"] Thanks everyone for your help! Anazazi - 50% of his mothers weight (or so) at 200 days. Thank you! I answered an ad that said two black angus heifers - $1.00 per pound. I bought them both and loaded them up. As I was getting ready to leave the daddy showed up and I remember thinking - OH NO! He was small with no muscles. If I had seen him first, I would of never bought the heifers. One of the two would not breed so she ended up in the freezer. The other was bred first time to an angus bull and the second time we had her AI'd to a lwb angus bull. The steer was from the AI'd black angus bull. As far as input cost, I have not really put a pencil to it, I just try and get them what they need. The first hay I bought this year I had tested and it was not very good. So I bought some from another person with the same results. I have always given them 20% cubes in the evenings. I know I am putting in more than I am getting out but I enjoy these cows. My wife says I do not have a smoking, drug, drinking or gambling problem, I have a cow problem! It does feel good knowing the money from this steer will buy the next round of cubes. Thanks, Phil [/QUOTE]
