[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 664572, member: 9115"] Xbred, yes my gross per calf was 1100. My goal right now is to get the price of my 600lbs calves at finished weight. Last year they averaged 550, figured them at 1.20 and got just less than that for them in the end. My feeder was willing to take smaller amounts at first to let me get my feet wet. I encourage anyone buying good bulls and taking care of things to do this. The hardest part was skipping the income in the fall to get started the first time. Now I'm commited cuz' I can't afford to sell two bunches in one year for tax purposes. edrsimms, thanks for the info, just read through it this morn, and haven't absorbed it all. I like your points on the different breeds. I always use as good a bull as I can afford, usually $2500-3000. My cost of gain is too much to keep them to 800lbs., even though I like feeding them. My job requires me to do my hobbies fast and efficently. Many times someone like me just goes forth blindly until we get it right. May PM you when I study your comments and ask for advice.
