[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1610037, member: 32659"] Calves need to avg $1,000 + at sale. The cattle business is a numbers game, the more you have the more you can make. 2 out of 10 yrs you might hit it right and make allot more money than usual but on avg cattle prices are flat. I always hear people talking about trying to save $20 a head on feed cost or $200 on replacement a cow. Rarely to you hear struggling operators talk about live weaning size calve percentages. To me the kick in the tail is when you have 100 cows and only 70-80% calf crop. It takes about an extra 30 seconds to feed 100 calves as it does to feed 75. [/QUOTE]
