[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1655812, member: 8993"] I probably make more on trade cattle than the ones I keep but my cost per cow per year is lower than most. I probably spend more on minerals than I do feeding hay. I could work harder, keep more cows and feed hay but I'm a lazy farmer. Example of the trade cattle. This weekend I bought a Jersey x holstein steer weighing 1205 for .57. Thats cow price. Turned him out with a few cows and today sold him for over $100 profit. Last weekend I bought a black bull weighing 1000 for .70 so $700. Took him to a friend to breed 3 cows. In exchange he will keep him until April 1. Already have 2 people wanting him next spring. I will get $1200 with the only expense being hauling him 10 miles 2 times. [/QUOTE]
