[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1717091, member: 8993"] I definitely respect the fact of how well both you and Silver do with your calves. But tell me where I'm figuring wrong. 1200 lb cow at 3% of body weight is 40 lb of hay per cow per day. 40lb x 200 days = 8,000 lb of hay per cow. If rolls are 1000lb that's 16 rolls per cow. 16x$75 is $1200 per cow. You said your calves averaged $1,000. Where is the profit with $75 per roll hay? [/QUOTE]
