[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1709162, member: 39695"] The answer is to take them all the way. You can raise calves cheaper than you can buy them, raise the feed, and finish the cattle. You can make money in the current market. That's just more risk than most people are willing to accept. I understand where you're coming from. In my personal cow herd I sell feeder calves, weaned 90-120 days, 3 rounds of shots. In the neighbor's herd that I have managed for 20years we feed out our calves. Used to buy a lot of feeders. I always want my calves to bring more, but back when we were buying feeders I always thought they brought plenty compared to what we had invested in our home raised calves of the same size. [/QUOTE]
