[QUOTE="dyates, post: 669799, member: 7137"] Depends on what your market is at the time. I normally don't buy calves, but I did last fall. I bought light 3 weights in whatever I could buy cheap. Heifers, bulls, or steers didn't matter, neither did color. I ended up with an .83 average in 3 weights! When I sold this spring, they averaged 530 pounds and brought 1.01. After hay, meds, vaccines, and feed, I cleared a little better than $100/hd in 120 days. I actually kept one herf x charolais heifer for a replacement. She only cost $165 plus feed. My advice is wait until August and do whatever makes the most sense at the time. [/QUOTE]
