[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 451471, member: 391"] If the calves are from a closed source(ie ALL from your neighbors cow/calf opp) AND they have been weaned worked up(incl implant) and preconditioned for 4-6 wks at his place- or at the very least worked up and fed for 4-6 wks before they are weaned and shipped. Then you are down to just worrying if you are charging enough to make it worth your time(with the above cattle that should be minimal) and feed inputs. You should take no share in the deathloss- cause there shouldn't be any- other than "thats life" stuff he'd have if he kept them on his place.Or he needs to pay you more..... Just as an aside-- there are some pastures that without supplementation of some kind- you won't get much gain(ie stockpiled winter fescue comes to mind). And the size of the calves makes a big difference in what supplements/grass are going to be needed. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
