so i've been running some numbers and i came up with 3.27 years for a heifer being raised the way i raised mine
that is figuring a 500 lb calf sold at $2.00 lb (i know thats not what anybodys getting now but its the number i used)
the cost of feed (from my experience)
and a little money for the vet and AI breeding
that is not counting the cost of fencing or death. and a 100% weaning/sale rate
i know thats not going to be perfectly accurate but should be close for me
whats yours?
