[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1401228, member: 498"] I sell fat cows off grass that mostly go to kill generally in late August early September before the glut of cull cows hit the market. I buy thinner breds this time of year for a little over kill price. I safe the cost of feeding the cow for 5-6 months. The breds may cost a bit more than what I sold for in the fall but not as much as the money I saved on feed. I wean the calves by shipping the cows (that saves the shrink on the cow) and hold the calves until early October. Then I sell them as weaned and vaccinated. It has worked for me. [/QUOTE]
