[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 655416, member: 5970"] You won't make any money in the cattle biz without first learning some of the tricks. Make sure your cows are always multitasking. Sure breeding back within 90 days is important but even more important is a less than 9 month gestation period. If you can squeeze that gestation period down to 7 months and breed back one month after calving. Why, you would make twice as much money every other year as everyone else on a 12 month program. Wean the calves when they are a year old. This way they are raising atleast two calves while they are preganant. This is the best of multitasking. Keeping the calf on momma for a full 12 months of the 15 month calendar year will allow you wean off a 1,400 lb. calf. So lets keep this simple. If you get $1.00 for the calf at 1,400 lbs you just grossed $1400 dollars. But, your cow was also raising one calf in the oven and another on the teat so really you grossed ($1400 dollars divided by 9 divided by 3 wich gives us $51.85 * 12 months in a real year. So you have another $1400 of unrealized profit so far. Now you have to calculate the costs to maintain that cow in a 15 month calendar year. Take that # and divide it by 15 and then multiply it by 12 because in real life we have 12 months in a year. Take that # substract it from your gross plus your unrealized gross and now you have your imaginary net profit. ;-) Walt [/QUOTE]
