[QUOTE="Bama, post: 89682, member: 1184"] I buy stocker calves from the barn. I buy some that are healthy. These go to a differant pasture. Of these I tag em and may or not innoculate them. Depending on their condition. I always keep them seperate from the others in case something gets by me that needs attention. Then I buy some weaker ones. Ones that I can get cheap. I buy the ones I can make something out of hopefully. These gennerally get tagged, dewormed, and bovisheild gold as quickly as possible. They stay away from the herd for a longer period of time. At the barns around here you don't know where the calves come from. Some of them I know and some of them come from several states away. I also have a herd that are my keepers. My keepers culls go into one of the other bunches to be sold at a later date. As I have mentioned before this is a very risky way of making money. I have bought calves for as cheap as $40.00 and made something out of him. Not the best in the bunch but I made good money off of him. I have also lost a few, but I find that this works well for me. BTW I have a multicolored herd, Most of my keepers are black but I have most all the beef breeds covered. [/QUOTE]
