[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 626945, member: 1715"] I was concerned when you said you planned to reduce the cow herd size and finish out your calves. Finishing profits have not been great lately... It takes a lot of feed to go from 800 to 1300 pounds and they are way way too heavy for spring grass. I bought some corn for $3.06 recently but that may still not work for heavies. If you look at value of gain it drops off fast over 600#. So - - catch the bounce by selling them and buying back some light weights. :cowboy: No shame in that. Just realize you will pay a premium to buy in Bagley. [/QUOTE]
