I am interested in what Ai cost is I have never had it done before.

I was more or less looking for a formula, I know it will be diffrent for my area, just looking for a plug and play formula. Thanks

Im writing a buisness plan and need some help on how to come up with some numbers.Im looking for how to come up with..... calf cost per year Ai cost per year per cow Mineral cost per year per cow creep feeding per calf Is there anybody who can help with some of this stuff? Or even some pointers...

What is the best way to calculate how much money you have in each calf? Now that I know how to calculate it for the cow to see what my profit projections for the year will be. Can anyone help me with that?

I used that formula on my own cattle and figured at 3% of there body weight 40lbs of hay feeding them for 5 months and at our cost the most is $10 per 1k bale, our hay cost per year per cow is about $60. Thats a heck of a difference than what your feeding.

Thats the same way I looked at it I just did it a little cheaper with our bales being cheaper than $25 a bale. Is 60lbs a day what an average cow consumes a day on hay? I didnt no it was that much. We also are lucky enuf we dont have to feed hay as long as you either. After baling and...

SL I was wondering how you computed the hay cost per cow per year? Is there some sort of formula?

SL I will be running angus cows and will be running simangus or charangus bulls. Thank you for your help

SL, all the hay is raised off site and we figure we have about $7 per 5x6 1000lb bale and you can buy peanut hay around here for about $25 a 5x6 bale. I intend to wean them and sell them in the 600-700lb range. Im going to try to buy 100 bred cow/calf pairs this year if I can find them then next...

SL All of the 266 acres are useable pretty much. There are trees through out the pasture but there is no woods land. We bale our own peanut hay and raise a little bit of rye we bale also so none of the pasture will be used for hay. We can run about a cow per acre here some people I know run a...

Thanks SL yes im young and this will be my first time on my own. Thanks again for your help. My father has cattle and I just wonted to get some other peoples opinion who have been in the buisness longer than us.

SL There are plenty of trees for shade and probably 10 acres worth of ponds. Its flat no hills and as far as I know it has always been cleared and been in pasture for 30yrs probably. Its $45 an acre pay monthly or yearly. Will rent this year and if everything goes well will lease for 4 years at...

266 total acres has working facilities for cattle, no buildings, has fresh town water in every pasture(which is free I dont have to pay for)

What do you mean AU per acre? Whats AU stand for? Animal Units? If so were at about 1 AU/per acre.

What is everyone paying an acre for renting pasture land? Good pasture with good fence good fescue grass, is $45 an acre to much?

oh yea and more the cattle my dad has he runs a cow and a half/ per acre

hey b2f I agree 100%, I think the black hyde craz was created by the Angus Marketing Machine. Personally I dont care what color they are and wish that you were payed by quality over color. However it doesnt work like that and if I can get my quality of meat up and get my calves more efficant and...

Thanks for your response. They were not the only ones saying this. People who have been raising cattle in this area for fourty years are going to them along with Sims, so its not just the beef specialist. Just trying to get advice from other people and I will try harder to see the forest your...

Anybody use them. I was at a meeting today and they were pushing the charolais pretty hard and with good reason. I was really looking hard at using a herferd bull on my angus cows but now really looking hard into charolais. I would like to keep the calfs mostly black (just because they tend to...
