Updated heifer-rearing-cost spreadsheet


Researchers at Penn State University recently released an updated version of a spreadsheet to help calculate the cost of raising heifers for any type of operation, feeding regime, grouping structure or management. Access the spreadsheet and download the manual (PDF format) that explains how to use the tool.

Thanks for the spreadsheet, Dun. Boy, they sure manage their critters intensively, at least with the initial numbers, don't they? $600 and some odd dollars in feed costs alone in 2 years? If I raised cattle that way, I'd be broke.
