[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1808099, member: 498"] The calves won't get to 600 pounds on the cows. A huge part of the equation making this work is the kill value of the cow. We ship the cows direct to the plant the middle of August. Later than that the kill cow market will start to slip as more cows start coming to town. The calves all get weaned the day we ship the cows. The calves will be in the 500-300 pound range. About 4 or 5 days in the corral to get the bawl out of them. Then out on irrigated meadow hay field regrowth. When that grass runs out they will go to town. That is generally some time in October. Another thing that makes this work is the fact that from about mid April until they are all gone we feed zero. Just range land pasture. [/QUOTE]
