[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 637497, member: 1715"] I bought 66 bred cows and heifers in November because no one wanted them. Sold the old cows, a man killer, and some fancy black heifers in January/February leaving 37 mostly Rwf to mob up later with the stockers. We have had a colder than normal winter and they are eating a lot of groceries. I updated the 2009 cow/calf costs yesterday and projected a $46 cash/gross margin loss per head with 2008 hay prices. With the historically cheaper hay price and some stockpiling - - I projected about a $50 positive cash/ gross margin. I really like the cows I have left but many will be going to the the sales barn to be split unless things improve by late summer. I would rather hunt more than haul hay for free. :banana: [/QUOTE]
