[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 700524, member: 8978"] I agree with Bez, in that I sure don't envy your hay bill. How much is hay selling for in your area? The traditional 1200 lb. first cut round bale is right around $100-$120 in central Alberta this year. Add another $5-$8 for delivery. This means if you could get away with 6 bales per cow it would cost anywhere from $630 to $738 for winter feed alone. If you needed 9 bales it would cost $945 to $1152 per cow for winter feed alone! What are weaned calves selling for in your area...steers and heifers? If you wean an average weight of 600 lb. and an average price of $1/lb(strs and hfrs) you are looking at $600 less your selling costs. Going to be real tough juggling the figures to convince yourself you made any money? But hopefully your hay prices are cheaper than the prices in Alberta. [/QUOTE]
