[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 799845, member: 7398"] Those prices all look low to me. I sold slaughter cows for $700+. That said, I wouldn't want anything I sent to the sale barn - though I realize that's not how the ALL end up there. Still - early bred cow for $650+$150 (for feed to get to calving) + $150 feed to get to weaning = $950. $950-$550 (slaughter cow value if the bred sold for $650) = $400 price of 500 lb calf. Add 30% (??) risk for buying an early bred salebarn cow and you're about $520 for a 500 lb calf and had to wait a year to get there. For me, it seems like the only way to save on that would be free feed - which you may have in pasture. [/QUOTE]
