[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1802409, member: 42463"] If you're thinking about weaning calves early because you don't have the pasture to keep them fed you are running too many cows. If you are raising calves to sell for profit why would you sell 300 pound calves for $750 when you have a built in feed bag (cow) that you are going to have to feed all year, and will take them to 500 pounds when they will sell for $1150? How is taking 25% or less for your entire years production good business? To put it another way, do the guys buying 300 pound calves make money at it? If they do, why would you let them make the money you could have made by keeping your calves? [/QUOTE]
