[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 542808, member: 7999"] I said "cheaper" because they require less feed, the main input cost. I think cheap refers to costs. Profit has to do with the price received less costs. More profit wouldn't be cheaper, it would just be more profitable. There might be a way for a larger cow to be more profitable than a smaller one but if you sell cattle in a commodity market, you get the same price for calves produced by a small cow as a large one so in order to increase you profit you have to find a way to make you calves worth more than the market . Price per pound of beef - cost per pound of beef = profit Even if you can get premiums over the market, they aren't based on your cows size. Maybe you can get more of a profit out of a larger cow but I don't see it. And I'm not saying large cows can't be profitable, I just think that all thinks being equal the smaller cow is going to be more profitable. [/QUOTE]
