[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1359326, member: 24583"] The basic concept is that you send the calves to the feedlot, they feed them out on their dime, and send you a check for the difference when they sell them. You can find some feedlots that will accept a few but others require load lots. Very few people I've ever talked to have ever came out on top. But then again I'm in the southeast. Lot of crooks out there. I've heard of folks sending their calves and actually getting a bill rather than a check when the calves were sold to the packer. Research and find someone you really trust or you could get taken for a ride. You are in Kentucky. Your calves are in say..... Kansas. If they tell you 12 out of 30 died, you have no way of knowing how many really died. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it's a risk and someone could really take advantage of you if they wanted to. Lots of good articles on the web about this. May try to PM js1234. He could probably steer you in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
