[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1790965, member: 1715"] 1) Standard advice is to buy Gordon Hazzard' stocker book. Just understand that calf and grass types tend to be regional. 2) Standard advice is to buy fool proof weaned calves. Just understand that half of the potential profit is in what you buy and how you start them. Stockmanship allows you to prosper with calves that others are afraid to buy. 3) Stockers need much better feed/forage than cows. Have a seasonal COG plan on how to deliver it. Learn MIG. 4) Understand how LRP works. 5) Learn sell buy marketing. 6) Understand the tradeoffs between calf size and stocking rate and ADG. 7) Consider partnering with a grow yard. [/QUOTE]
