[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 638043, member: 10124"] My first thought is what will the cost be for you to winter the cows for four months. You will have to figure the cost of feed, water,machinery, facilites and labor also a small mark up for unforseen cost. When you add up all these cost what will you have to charge for feeding a cow for four months. The current price for a commercial 500 to 600 lb #1 steer calf at auction is is $500 to $600. When the rancher adds all cost on the cow and calf for the remaining eight months will he have any profit. I personally am having to rethink my operation to see how i can operate differenty to turn a profit because my current expenses are more than my income. I have been a rancher for 47 years and the abiliy to make a profit is the worst i have seen it. [/QUOTE]
