[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 175216, member: 2862"] Ack, thats terrible. My long run average costs up here, including rent on the land, equipment, drugs, entertainment costs, etc etc etc is $250 cow/calf pair for the year. This includes backgrounding the calves. I haven't done this years average yet, but with the high costs of fuel now, I think its safe to say it'll be around $285 per. I'll be buying more land this year, so it'll spike to around $325 per pair per year. If the calf prices hold, I'll be getting $950 per heavy 8 weight. So $600 profit per animal. I think with 150 head, a family can live reasonably well, although that margin is shrinking every year. Rod [/QUOTE]
