The other tread got me thinking .. What do you estimate your feed cost was this past year to raise a 600lb calf in your area . Just to feed the cow/calf
Not bad at all, here at the right times last year 520lb steers were 3.00$ or better. So 645$ for some 1500 to 1600$ calves in 186 days ain't to bad.1982vett":muj93klk said:Seed - 1141.84
Fertilizer - 4522.00
Feed - 487.1
--------------------------
Total - $6150.94 / 43 Calves is $143.04 with an average weaning weight of 523.10 lbs ..... now throw in fuel, insurance, depreciation, truck (Schedule F)...... that comes to $645.62 per weaned calf.... but that's just last year for me.
Don't know how that stacks up against others, but I'm fine with it. Hope this year is as good.
If calculations are correct....186 days to get their.
