[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 868988, member: 694"] My question is with today's spread sheet's and computers why don't cattlemen operate on knowing the daily cost of a cow. How can you make informed culling decisions along with investments. Cattle are employee's the cheaper one work's the more profit returned to the corperation. My books are ran by the yearly quarter's the cost of all expense's is divdided equally among the cattle giving you you daily cost per head. This tells you what a salebarn calf has to bring to make a profit. Why keep a cow that is raising a lighter calf at weaning that reduces the profit. With a 100% calf crop and a cow costing 400 bucks a year that is a cost of 1.09 a day you would have to get 80 cents a pound on a 500 pound calf to break even, a 90% calf crop it moves to 91 cents to break even. During the drought my cost has moved to 584 dollars to keep a cow in the pasture. That mean's I would have to get a 1.16 to break even. [/QUOTE]
