About 10 yrs ago a good friend told me shoot for a grand a hd if you wanna make it. For years I thought he was crazy and wondered how anyone could afford to keep and feed calves. These days a grand a hd is a disappointment and I wonder how people can stay in business without keeping and feeding calves. We don't always hot our goal but you gotta try.Down to the nut cuttin…2022 profit was $90 a calf sold. Was no 16 month old $1000 a head calves. Have had several 450 to 550 pounders break $1000 this year.
The grass is greening up and today the yearlings weren't really excited at feeding time. Can't say it wasn't a relief @ $402 a ton.
