I had a little oppurtunity come my way today, my father-in-law had some strays show up at his place a few weeks ago. The owner was really not interested or making any attempt to get them, so asked me to have a look, the owner wanted $500 a round, 3 head, I sold them at auction today, take home of $1940, pretty good ROI for two days of ownership.
The calf market has fell flat, as rarely did any class of cattle bring a $1 Lb. I am sure glad I sold my light 5's for $1.32 a month ago, as today they would have been lucky to bring 90 cents.
I am thinking pretty hard on backgrounding some calves thru the winter, as I always had better luck making money on them, when no one else really wanted them.
A good day today, plus a little rain.
