Money making in cattle
Have 12 acres wanting to see what would make me the most profit with cattle. Raising 200 Lb calves on winter annual? 5 beef cows and sell calves? Larger stockers or heifers? Real thin cattle purchased and put on grass?

Most profit will be in selling square bales of hay to horse people no doubt about it

Hay is the money and going to be even more profitable to those doing it in the future.

At today’s prices profit in cow calf operation is slim at best.
Lot of welfare cattle getting hauled to the salebarn.

2015 was fun. The infrastructure sure profited by it here.
