[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 451086, member: 391"] Are the calves weaned,worked and preconditioned? Straight off momma? Not worked up- and you have to do it? Who pays for it? Grouped from salebarns? What are the In wts? How long are you gonna keep them? Are you going to have to supplement feed? Or.....What kind of grass do you have to graze? Are your fences good? Do you have the time and knowhow to treat calves? Who pays for medicine? What are the deathloss arrangements? And I second the question--- are final wts with the deads in or out? Some calves/arrangements would be a good deal at .40/lb Some calves and arrangements wouldn't be a good deal at .60/lb And you risk the work and effort and making nothing on some calves and arrangements no matter what you agree to be paid /lb. A train wreck can work you to death and end up costing you money. This is a classic scheme(con) too-- you may not get paid at all. know what you are getting into or i second the opinion that renting is a much better option. [/QUOTE]
