[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1330811, member: 24583"] You make a good point M-5. Only thing to add is that cow #1 had a gross income of $11500 from 15 calves. Cow #2 (and her replacement #3) had a gross income of $14200. Assuming the original purchase price of #1 and #2 were the same, to be fair we've got to add $800 for the additional calf #15 (out of #2 or #3) and also subtract the replacement cost of #3 ($2000?) This would be $13000 gross income on the two cows culled before they died. Definitely the way to go (on paper anyway). Glad you brought this up bc I've got to admit I've never thought about it quite like this. Big determining factor is "our" estimate of calf prices, salvage prices, and replacement prices. But I guess regardless of what the prices are, a cow culled as a 7 year old should always bring more than a dead 15 year old :nod: [/QUOTE]
