[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 954791, member: 8382"] seems like buying a group of calves from ranch with similar genetics that have been weaned and vaccinated would cut back on sickness, death loss and mature at the same rate. then when they hit 750-800 you could market them via the broker as feeder cattle. oppossed to having a group of calves of different genetics that are of every shape and size as put together cattle seem to mature differently. i always seem to buy too many "bargains" and end up with a bunch of misfits. one thing that concerns me is the brokered cattle bring a premium so the profit margin may not be as much, but maybe less imput and less risk.
