[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1557785, member: 26897"] Just want to add from personal experience... we took 97 head to a feedlot at around 1000lbs to just finish them (retained ownership) hoping for a higher premium since they were part of NHTC and promised $175hd bonus. We got that head bonus but paid way more to finish them. They took forever! Only gaining 2lbs a day whereas we had 4. What should have been 3 months, turned to 5 (small bunch 6) and lost 5 head (1 railer). We opted to never do that again. Had corn there that we pretty much lost. It was awful. No one will care for your cattle the way you do and no one can feed them cheaper than you can (if u have the resources). I’m currently getting tax stuff ready and it makes me sick to see what we paid for them to finish our cattle out. [/QUOTE]
