I am looking at purchaseing some light weight calves to run as yearlings most likely will buy heifers as they are close to $20 back of steers at the weight's I looking at around here.

My question is do you guy's & gal's think this is a better money maker than say short term cows.I will have a loan to pay back next fall so I will have to sell them a year from now.On the yearlings would you run them open or breed them and sell them as bred heifers.My wife think's I'm crazy but she alway's think's that.

I'm thinking 300 to 400# calves purchased between now and the end of the year.I know I can get these bought for under a $1 per lb.

Short term cow's will pound out at $600 pretty easy right now for anything worth a hoot..
