[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 355794, member: 3177"] We tried to feed them that much, never succeeded. We ended up feeding around 10-15lbs a day per bull. I don't know how that is losing money, if I had the grass I would run pasture year round. Next year we are going to let them run on wheat out west. The genetics that we buy are run out west on wheat and they weigh more then ours. What are your yearling weight like? If you sell those bulls for $1750 then how is that losing money at all. We feed grain and less hay, it is more expensive but really not by that much maybe $100 per calf. If you were selling everything commercial then of course you would be waisting away money. We raise our bulls like $3000 bulls (because at some point that is where we want to be), and sell them for $1750. We are still working our way up. I will argue with you on the feeding for a long time [/QUOTE]
