[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1423522, member: 17956"] I've got a few expenses that might be finding their way in the wrong column, but to be perfectly honest a cow calf operation is probably running at break even. Current prices this week, would probably net $100-150 profit on a cow. That's actually not terrible. When I multiply $150 by how many cows I have, I'm ashamed of how hard I had to work to get it. I almost started a thread about a group of calves I bought back in early April. Spent most of a week gathering them. Worked them. Settled them, and got them eating. The market favored me the whole way, and I kept them exactly 49 days. I made $20 apiece. I do right well with bred heifers, but last year was a break even on that. I'm probably a poor manager as daddy would say, but I am honest. Not much to be made on cows. [/QUOTE]
