[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 710878, member: 7645"] $1500 for killing 3 head????? Ribeyes are selling for $5.99 a lb at Food Giant. Whole Hereford tenderloins are selling for $8.99 a lb at Fresh Market. By my math you lost $1500 by not selling the calves at weaning ~6 months old. (3 x $500) You probably spent $400 a head per year keeping them around growing out. (2 X (3 x 400)) Killing them is going to cost you another $1500 (that sounds WAAAAYYY high) By my math you got $5400 in them. For that amount of money the two of you could have gone to the store and each eaten an 8 ounce ribeye at $5.99 a lb every single night for the next 902 days straight!! [/QUOTE]
