[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 613497, member: 2653"] Sorry K Mac, my post was confusing. On a normal calf that I bring to the stockyard I make gross $400 to $600. Take out $350 cost of moma and you have a $50 to $250 profit per cow. If I sell the calf as a yearling to butcher, I get $1000 to $1200 (dependant upon whether someone buys a half calf or full calf). Deduct the same $350 for moma, $200 in feed, and $150 to butcher. Profit is $300 to $500 per calf. I don't have a certain weight that I feed them to, I pasture raise them until the last couple of months and grain/feed them. Normally butcher around 12 months old, or whenever I think they are slightly above 1000 pounds. [/QUOTE]
