Subject: Why not sell at birth, but a bit different.

NW IL

We dairy and raise up our steers to sell as finished fats. Some freezer beef. We raise all our own feed.

If we can sell our beef cross dairy calves for $600+ is it worth the risk to take the calf all the way to finish?

Dad says taking them to finish makes the corn worth more. I say sell and take a guaranteed profit before you've invested anything into it, and you can still sell the corn.

Currently I'm letting Dad do what he wants, but curious if others are thinking like I am.
