A good buddy of ours has offered to take our weanlings and yearlings for the winter. He has a pasture of winter wheat in OK where he runs his commercial cows.
He is asking .40 cents/pound of weight gain.
We aren't sure what is the average and if it's a good deal or not.
What do you guys think?
The pasture in itself would be good for these guys since we have to have them in pens and they don't get the excercise future bucking bulls need.
Also, since we don't usually sale our animals on weight we don't keep track of the average weight gain.
What is normal weight gain for a weanling for a 6 month time? What about a yearling for a 6 month time? These are brangus cross.
If I could figure that out, I could figure out if it is cheaper then our hay cost and go from there.
Thanks!!!!
