Yes, but only if you stole all your feed,fuel, machinery,supplies,medication,fence wire,posts and all the 10,000 other things you normally have to buy. Stealing a few cows would help the bottom line also. ;-)eric":25y6iv0k said:With 200 hd, couldnt a guy plan on making about $50-$60K a yr.
[/quote]quote="txshowmom"]How many head of cattle does everybody have?
My goal is to someday run around 150-200 hd. I also plan on this being a full time job, so I dont understand the need for another full time job if someone is running 400 hd. If you have 200 hd, couldnt you plan on selling at least 100 calves a yr.?
eric":1wk30hth said:You guys keep saying we are at a all time high for cattle prices. What was the price of salebarn calves before the border closed and everything fell apart up north? In other words, what were you guys selling cows / calves for 2 summers or so ago?
500-600 lb calves.....
800 lb cows......
1100 lb cows..........
1200 lb bred cows.....
old bulls......

I can't imagine spending 2 or 3000 per acre.....unless you could run 1 pair per acre.
