[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 595005, member: 3162"] High maintenance cows have to go period. You lose some calves and that expense has to be spread. Some times you can graft a doggy on and that cuts the losses. Lots of work tho. My nurse cow is well into the black by herself when nothing else is doing much good. Her expenses are well beyond the general herd cow but you also have to consider the profit she renders. Everthing has to go into the right perspective. Fencing cost and fertilizer cost are the biggest expense increases for me this year. Last year a bunch of hay didn't sell but it went out early in '08. That left me in the red for '07 as the income was realized this year. No matter what the papers show, I know it was residual and I know where I am for this year. I am retaining heifers. That puts me in the red for cattle. [/QUOTE]
