[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 741769, member: 9115"] I've never seen that kind of premium on mine, more like $50-100 a head, one year $20. I feed steers and heifers in the same lot and put an average price on them when they go to the feedyard. I have never, so far, lost what I feel I would have gotten for them sold as feeders, but always thought I had a chance to get more feeding them out. The feedyard sends me a monthly bill and I do nothing, because I financed the feed there. The hardest part is getting a full pen and then skipping a fall check for your calves until you get a check in the spring. I probably will always retain ownership from now on. I got tired of buying good bulls and culling cows and then not getting paid for my efforts. Remember, if you are not raising the right kind of cattle to feed, you are gonna' be in trouble quick. You will find out why the buyers cut that steer off and sell alone, and maybe that calf that you feel is just as good as anyones' may not be. It's is an education. gs [/QUOTE]
