[QUOTE="dun, post: 19916, member: 34"] That's one of "those" kinds questions. The primary variables are what are you going to do with them, price, and the hidden quality. If you feed them out to slaughter, the 650s won't ake as long, if the market takes adump when they're ready to go and either take a beating or hold them longer, there goes the profits. Same applies to the younger/smaller calves. What's the chance of them getting carcass premiums? Last year we got lucky and bought 5 weights while the market was low. Ran them on pasture, very good quality pasture but still mostly fescue, for 91 days and sold them as 9 weights. The market had switched around to the point that we got more per cwt for the 9s then we had paid as 5s. As soon as someone can figure out what clairvoyance pills to take to predict what will happen we'll all make money. But the guy that controls the access to the pills will make the most. Boils down to "you pays your money and takes your chances". dun [/QUOTE]
