[QUOTE="Sd1030, post: 1310124, member: 23833"] Jmj i think you just explained my plans better than me. My friend has enough to make little over half a load, i have a couple i can throw in at this point, and im looking for local cattle to buy to make up the rest. Were just trying to go this route to get the premium, instead of taking the hit at the barn, considering theyd be weaned and vaccinated either way. Comparing barn report to truck load report on similar cattle there was a $.20/lb difference between the two, i done the math and thats $150 dollar a head difference. I know some will say time you factor in the time and extra cost to put another 1-200 lbs on them before selling than you aint come out ahead vs sending at 500/lb. i agree with that if you dont have the resources to do it, but if you do why not background your own cattle?
