Hardly, we are already seeing $1600-$1700 for steers off the cow at say 650#, if you hold them until next spring and sell at 900# using current prices you'd be around $2K, take out costs and you'll be looking at making around an additional $100 head to carry them until spring and take all the risk. Not worth it when we can lock in such a profit right off the cow. Some are even hitting $1800 with 6 weights off the cow.
