[QUOTE="greatgerts, post: 1373040, member: 181"] I think you said it best in the last sentence. You've already spent OVER what she would bring at a sale barn, and she has not gotten any better. Let's say that she would bring $1100 at the sale barn healthy. Add in the $1100 in vet bills, and you are at $2200. How many calves do you have to sell to recoup that profit at today's prices??? IF you profit $100/calf you'd have 22 calves to sell just to get to flat from this one. I am a "hobby" farmer in the sense that I have a full time occupation, but I TRY to look at things this way as much as possible to keep the cattle operation going. [/QUOTE]
