[QUOTE="calfbuyer, post: 959857, member: 18445"] We always had home raised beef when i was growing up and i have fed out some steers on my own for my family but it has always been alot of time and money invested. I have never been able to do it this cheap. My yuppie inlaws and some of their friends wanted to buy beef halves a couple years ago and I ended up going to a small feed lot west of here and buying some fat, already done calves and hauling them to the butcher for them, this was way cheaper than trying to feed some of my calves from weaning to finished for them. My sister in law kind of negotiated everything and we got 500 deposit and the rest when i delivered the beef to Austin. Was a pretty good deal but the feedlot wont sell me anymore calves because they are supplying a couple restaurants now and contract the beef. I think that there is money to be made here and i agree with both jogee and c7 i think people like to know where their food comes from and if you could do a good job of marketing it you could really do some good.
