[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1795693, member: 39018"] Yeah, I thought the same thing immediately the first time I saw it... so I went to the B&MG website to check it out, as well as the Zelp site, along with some other "investigation".... sure looks to be "real" to me. So... just look around you... surely no one is so dumb that they're doing the stupid things that we all see around us or on the news every day too, right? Um, well, yeah, people really ARE that dumb apparently. If you're "wavering" between the two, the "do both" sounds like a GREAT solution that would give you the real answer to your question... and you'd prove to us all once and for all which way is "in the money"! KEEP US POSTED! What you're suggesting with 50/50Farms is kind of how I got started back into cattle. I custom summer grazed nurse cows with dairy calves on 'em the first year. Cows were the bottom of his herd for production. He grafted the calves on, two per, and brought them to me. I carried 'em for the season, and got paid in half the calves. He bred the bottom of his herd and heifers to angus, since he didn't need that many replacements. I was able to trade B&W/dairy calves for dairy/beef crossbred heifer calves.
