[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 751601, member: 968"] I think you have the picture. Cows are worth whatever your farm can sell the offspring for and make her pay for herself. We purchase a bred heifer for $4500 and sold her first two calves (heifers) for an average of $4300 - so she paid for herself in 1 year. We purchased a bred cow for $4200 - gave us all steers until this year, yahoo heifer calf - cut the cows head off last week to test for listeria. bummer! did NOT pay for herself. Although I have a beautiful red heifer calf that may get her paid for, sometime down the road. All depends on YOUR market. [/QUOTE]
