[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16098"] OK, I'll be the spoiler and take some issue with this one. Or at least add some balance of perspective. My Dad knows cattle and he knows how to make money in cattle. A piece of advice he has given me over the years is this: "Two of the keys to making money in cattle are 1) Stay out of the feed store, and 2) Don't get too friendly with the vet." Of course there are caveats to this. We buy cottenseed cake, tons at a time, each and every year at the feed store. Same with meds and vaccines. We also call a vet, albeit every few years. Again, the key to making money in cattle is more about figuring out how to keep the expenses down - not increasing revenue. I wouldn't have much of an idea how long it take one of my cows to pass her afterbirth, since I would only see her every other day at best. If she does fine and looks fine, great. If she doesn't, she goes in the trailer. Then again we are producers. But, we are profitable producers. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
