[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1599944, member: 25884"] We buy cattle like that often... if we have grass and such, or if we should have alot of hay..... the thing is, how long did you have them before you turned them over? That is what determines if you made a good deal or not. If you had the extra grass, then it wasn't taking away from any of your own cattle. So what do you figure it costs to keep a pair.... We figure about $500-550 a year per pair. In that case, if you had them a year, the calf paid for the cost to keep the pair, and the cow made you $100 for the year. If you turned them over sooner, then they made you a little more money. There are different thoughts on it, but you need to figure what it costs you per pair per year; and then decide. I would say that was a decent deal, and if you turned them over sooner, then yes, it was worth it. [/QUOTE]
