Cull Cow Profits?

[Caustic Burno]

Common bred cows have gone up $50 TO $100 per head since a month ago, but you also have $45 of hay into them during this period...

At .12 cents a lb that cow in the picture won't bring a 100 bucks.
Seen go as low as .08 per lbs.
A butter ball fat cutter will bring about .45 lbs right now. That's not for LH cross or back forty stuff we are talking a beef bovine.

That cow was a 5 or 6 year old and 6 month old when bought in September. She will raise that calf. I don't know if the man will keep her or breed and resell. I just buy what the customer wants. In this case, SS and younger plus bred for under $450.
