[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 127084, member: 13"] Talk to your extension people and see if Minnesota has a retained ownership program. There's a "nomination" fee to put calves in the OK Steer Feedout, but I think that's the only cost to the owner. After the calves are killed, all expenses are taken out of the check and the balance paid to the owner. When we put some calves in the feedout program, years ago, they were recommending that owners sell their better calves at the sale barn and feed out the others. We put calves into the retained ownership program because calf prices had gone through the floor. we did much better by retaining ownership. But there were several groups of calves in the program with ours that the owners would have been better off, financally, to have sold them at the sale barn. If they don't feed well or hang a good carcass, you can lose money. I will tell you that it's a learning experience. ;-) [/QUOTE]
