[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1786470, member: 4063"] I know that costs are different for different producers, different parts of the country, etc. but in general, I would say this is a good example of why it is so important to raise the best possible quality cattle that you can. To consistently get $850 for a 500 lb calf means $1.70/lb, in today's market that's easy enough to do on steers but to do that on heifers you need to be on the upper end of the market. (I'm using my current, local market prices) Bottom line is that quality pays, to stay in business you need to make investments in genetics and improve your cow herd. Using a craigslist bull isn't doing yourself any favors. [/QUOTE]
