[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 872704, member: 694"] It gets down to cost per day to upkeep the cow. My county has no railroad so all grain's to the feedmill has to be trucked in just like fertilizer, lime etc. A ton of lime here is 80 dollars a ton I know of area's it cost half. You have to get realistic in what it cost to keep old Belle in the pasture. You may be able to do it on 50 cents a day and me a dollar and a quarter. I am scared to see what the price for upkeep is going to run by the end of the year in this drought. Last time I figured it would cost me almost 2 grand to get a heifer to production that make's it nut's to retain in my book. All we have control over is input cost being the cost to raise or purchase. I am sure there are area's that may be able to raise a heifer for 1000 to 1200 dollar's that makes it much more attractive besides the 25% O crap factor. Again at my cost the O crap factor makes it cost prohibitive in my book. [/QUOTE]
