[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 201618, member: 968"] Like I've said before, that's 34 more cows that COULD get sick, COULD have calving difficulties, HAVE to be run thru the chute for vaccinations & worming. That's 34 more doses of vaccinations that don't care how big the cow is. Labor has got to enter into the picture. And that was a terrible example using a 1800# cow weaning a 600# calf :shock: That's 33% of her body weight - she would have been culled first year on most anyone's farm. And by my sales of last year, I sold 750-900# calves (weaned over 1 month & preconditioned) for $1.15/# I do not see those 450# wt calves that would weigh maybe 550# at sale time, making me more money.
