That whole cow/calf,stocker,feedlot thing,I'll never give anybody financial or business advice,but I'll tell you what's working for me here in Michigan. I got out of the dairy business after 33 years by running a cow/calf herd and finishing my calves out all the way. I'm running about 10-15 more cows than I had dairy cows and finishing all the calves and doing it on the same acrs that I used for the dairy cattle. I pasture about 75 pair on 80 acres,feed them first cutting hay and corn stalks in the winter,then finish the calves out on the second and third cutting hay,corn silage and corn that I would have fed to the dairy cows. The auctioneer at the stockyard says I've got kind of a revolving door setup,but to me,that would be if I was taking a load of fats and bringing home a load of feeders. It's more of a "closed loop" to me since all that I buy are service bulls. Like I said,I'm not giving any advice,but it's working better than I ever dared think it would.
