http://stockmanship.com/?p=1340#more-1340 Does anybody find sell buy marketing rational or realistic? If so I'll have to keep one set of books for myself and one for the bank/IRS.
Yes sir. I went to one of his schools when I was 12 years old, made a big impression on me. I know it's not for everybody buts it's kind of been a business model for me. Just getting to the point of scaling up now and making it a reality.Stocker Steve":3i90la7d said:I met Bud twice. He was the real deal.

High turnover, upgrade cattle, cog, vog. 15% ROI has kept Wal Mart in business, should keep food on my table. Dabbling with MIG grazing until I outgrow my infrastructure, which will be a good thingStocker Steve":1ekpuh6n said:RanchMan90":1ekpuh6n said:[Yes sir.

What are the business keys for you?
Do you try to upgrade cows by bcs or months bred? Is it cost competitive with lightweight stocker calves on grass?Stocker Steve":7879ykc0 said:Went on a wild ride of pasture improvement. Nature is not linear, and once you get nutrients cycling and legumes established the amount of forage can be a burden. Starting buying cheap cows and small bred heifers to trample more. Most of the profit was in the organic matter and the cattle price cycle.
Learned what too cheap was. Now trying now to sell older still functional cows and buy back or raise up younger ones. Works OK if you know your sales barns and big sales. Some prefer different kinds of cows. Some guys have to buy breds in the fall as soon as they get their calf check.
