[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1820904, member: 42463"] Well if every step of the way people are eking out a small profit and the calves are changing hands at weaning, and at weights to go to the feedlot, and at finish... then it stands to reason that less the costs of sale barn commissions and transportation and whatever else a middleman takes from total dollars there would be more money in taking an animal calf to slaughter if you can set yourself up for it. I worked for a guy that raised really fine registered stock... but he still averaged 18K head in feedlots every year. [/QUOTE]
