[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 994257, member: 7509"] The number I've heard several times in recent years from a couple midwestern university folks is $500/cow/year to maintain a beef cow. So if you sell her 600 lb calf around weaning time for $1.65 (recent price here) = $990. Your net income per year per cow is approx. 990-500 = 490/yr ? This is also something you can probably generate a broad range of numbers to fit your views. In this case, cost to maintain a cow for a year, I'd rather err a bit on the high side. I use $500. Not sure that it changes all that much with herd size numbers though. Jim [/QUOTE]
