[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1279534, member: 23608"] If you are talking about buying them and killing them out they generally grade them and pay you based on how they grade and carcass weight not live weight. The most important thing to learn is how a cow is going to grade and making sure you don't buy a bunch of full bellied cows that shrink too bad. It's a hard market to get into unless you have a bunch of money to play with. My dad used to buy some for JBS and for Cargill at different times and if somebody came in to try and buy cattle to kill out at the sale barn they had orders to not let them buy a thing that would make a dime.
