[QUOTE="LLR, post: 333672, member: 5736"] A feeder is a weaned calf. Up here i can buy feeders from 450-600lbs. Last week they were around 85-93 cents. I have been thinking about feeders because the rising cost of corn and the fact i have lots of pasture. My imputs should be lower than raising bottle calves ($110 calf,$50milkreplacer, $7 per bag starter, $165 per ton feed ). Not to mention lower mortality. I just had to make sure they would gain enough over a summer to at least be in the black by a little bit. I think the days of buying corn to finish cattle are over :( . [/QUOTE]
