[QUOTE="BC, post: 1093905, member: 67"] I think you missed the dollar amount. It was $5 to $15 per 100 lbs not per head. I agree that time has a value and you need the physical ability to work your calves. Because of a bad disc in my back, I paid some day cowboys to work my calves, it came out to about $6 per head for castrating and vaccines. I figured that I made about $10 per cwt by making steers out of my bull calves. My male calves averaged 596 this year so I figured it cost me $1 per cwt ($6 per head) to make an additional $54.00 per head. Was it worth it? It was to me. [/QUOTE]
