[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 1096367, member: 8382"] I'll give a my two cents and take it for what it's worth Right now light weight calves are bringing nearly 3.00 You stated you need cash flow with minimum risk. Stockers aren't minimum risk, there is potential to make some good money with stockers, but if this deal turns south (look at last spring) you could be in trouble It could be feast or famine Again calves are really high and cows/calf is where the real winner is if you had the cows before prices went up, but cows are high right now and it's going to be slow to get your investment back and turn a profit buying cows. Taking stockers in on the gain or taking in cows on a calf share may be your safest and cheapest route, but probably with less return It'll buy you sometime to get the operating capital you need Unless your landlords that you stated want to take on the bulk of the debt and risk and you buy in a percentage and they pay you for the taking care of them [/QUOTE]
