[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1788574, member: 40587"] Well, got some things done this weekend down there. Robert came to get his bulls, and brought me another Chianina x Charbray to carry to El Paso next week or two. He left one of the black bulls with us til planting time in April, just in case one of the Mexican Corrs does have a calf between now and then. Client met me down there Saturday and picked up the 18 black corrs @$800 each, guaranteed bred to those black bulls. ( Another reason I wanted to keep one...just in case one of them got missed and we needed to rebreed her. ) I now have 82 out of the 100 I bought, and I have $1600 in them. $19.50 a head! And in 15 months, we will wean 83 500+lb black polled calves off of them. About $700-$750 each. Next week or so, before March 1st, Bo is gonna take his horse to Ruidoso, that Chi bull to El Paso, and bring back the 15 head George put together for me. These will be solid black Corr cows bred to a black Mexican fighting bull. These a little higher...$325 each. $4875. Trading the bull in on them at $2k, and I bought it for $1200. So will have about $4075 in them. Bo is carrying my trailer and his truck, and fuel should run about $1500 -$1600. I am paying $1k of it, so that brings me to $5075 in 15 cows. ...$338 per head. So, their first Brangus calf will [I]only[/I] bring [I]twice[/I] what their mommas cost, instead of 3 times like the others. The man who bought those 18 black ones last week offered me $900 a head for these I am getting. I told him I dunno.....have to wait and see. I could sell him six I guess and have 9 left over with zero cost in them and a $325 profit already. See, that is why I like these so much...you'd have to put forth a continuos, concerted effort to not make money with them. And even then there is no guarantee you wouldn't make a profit. I am just glad I ain't going back this time. Seems like every day I get a month older. That trip last month liked to have killed me to death! [/QUOTE]
