Tell me more ?

These are the same folks that start their tax return with the refund they want and then work backwards.

I guess it's just a natural talent... you're young, you'll figure it out. Tip: (having a criminal mind helps)

It's covered by warranty, but will fix it ourselves or wait for several weeks for it to get done...so they said they would pay all parts, and shipping if we wanted to do it and it will still be covered but gee whiz....Got the part today so it will get done this week....
Pulled a dead calf out of a bought cow, then she went down and died 24 hours later.....Luckily one of the "cheap" breds, but now a loss... still not ready to pack it in yet....but won't see much "profit". One godd thing is steer prices on the 4+5 wts are up to the 1.40-1.75 range and heifers about 10 to 20 cents less so hope to do okay in about 2 weeks when we ship some. We'll see.

Yes I would like to know where the sweet spot is also.

Our local low cost producer has a skid steer, a stock trailer, and a flatbed. He doubled his herd size recently w/o any additional equipment. For folks who want to own a full line of equipment - - it seems like they need to be > 150 commodity cows to be effective.
