Mid MO | What I'm familiar with:
Cow owner buys bred sale barn cows and worms them prior to delivery. You provide grass, mineral, water, and tag calves as they hit the ground. Expect crazies, ballon bags, granny cows, and goood looking cows that loose calves for no good reason. Trucking is split.
When the grass man says it's time, they go to sale. Half the profit is yours. Usually an April through Oct deal. Could do an Oct to Feb/March deal too if you have a lot of cheap feed.
Isn't a bad turn if the guy buying is good, the market is right, and it rains. Worse case, grass man works for cheap but you don't loose money. Cow man doesn't do much, but his money is out working and hopefully makes some too.
The time to use this strategy is when you have too much grass and too little owned cattle. Otherwise, better to control the grass and own the cattle, imo.
In a short term deal like you're describing, I'd charge yardage. | |
