[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1186768, member: 18439"] The LSU Agcenter website used to have excel type spreadhseets listing all of the input costs for cow calf producers in Louisiana. It then did the basic arithmetic for how much money an operation loses for each calf that isn't born on time or isn't born at all. If it takes [b]x[/b] amount of years to pay off a cow, then losing a calf makes it [b]x+1[/b]. The 10 times formula is an accurate rule of thumb. Also from LSU and OSU: [u][b]The role of the cow/calf producer has no changes. The key to the producer's success is basically as it has been in the past: 1.Production: a calf every 12 months from each cow 2.Weaning weights: as many pounds of calf produced per acre of land as economically practical. 3.Cost of production: cost per pounds of calf produced as low as possible while maintaining productivity.[/b][/u] [/QUOTE]
