[QUOTE="jt, post: 36265, member: 238"] another factor to consider in this is.. where will you market your calves. if you are only buying a few and plan on taking them to the sale barn, then go watch some sell. see what the target buying size is selling for and the target selling size and determine if you can come out on them.. a 500wt calf is going to cost you approximately 575-600. by the time you put some med cost and feed cost in this calf, and pay the commission to sell him, you might not come out on him.. seems that at these prices and with the uncertainty that looms in the market, that the downside risk is greater than the upside potential. but then again, i am certainly not one who claims to know. good luck, jt [/QUOTE]
