[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 191631, member: 694"] Red I don't have anything to depreciate, if i did I would probally set down and cry at what that brought the cost to. Aero posted about 177 buck a calf not there actually loose about 10% of the calf crop to buzzards cow having it on a creek bank you name it. Bez got soft last year 1st time heifer had a calf in the bald ass open left it to go feed and the black devils got it so Igave her another chance she lost another calf. This cow has cost me 800 bucks and she aint working with me I could put up with she trampled the calf to death fightin buzzards but to walk off. She is hamburger next week her replacement got here yesterday. As far as cost to winter other than ya'lls being a lot longer per month I bet it is close. I actually think our winters are harder on them 35- 40 degrees and raining all the time, them cows are cold as they never get dry and suck up some hay. On the 12% hay coment I have a good friend that I love the way he puts this "I am not looking for better hay but a better cow to may it on the hay I have " Another one by Craig " If the cow can't make it on the hay I have I am replacing the cow not the hay" Cert nothing wrong with show calfs I actually like lookin at them, it just at the shows listening to most of the owners I talk I need an alka selzer. By the way where is old Tears and Sniffles ranch thought he wanted to talk about cows. Cypress you better sharpen that pencil up again not saying you can't do it but boy thats mighty cheap. Beef 11 my time was not in those numbers if I figure my time at 10 buckks an hour rough scrathing this early puts me at about 90 bucks a head profit. Well looks as we do not have a lot of cattlemen on the board as seems very few actually know what it cost to maintain old Belle. [/QUOTE]
