[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 713649, member: 13410"] nova, We chose the custom grazing route as a lower risk option. At that stage of the game we would have needed to borrow money to buy stockers. With custom grazing we had no cash outlay for the cattle. At different times we grazed stockers, replacement heifers, pairs, dry pregnant fall calving cows, and even horses. We liked critters other than the stockers because they all paid by the day or the month so we knew what our paycheck would be when the cattle arrived, not when they left. I kow a lot of guys who buy stockers and get along well doing it. I know in the good years they made more money than we did custom grazing, but in the bad years they took a big hit that we didn't. I suspect in the end it balanced out. JR [/QUOTE]
