[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1373586, member: 23608"] If you take your calves to 1350 lbs, and they yield 60%, that would leave you with 810 lbs hanging weight. Multiply that by around 3.00 a lb and you come up with around 2400 dollars per calf. That is 4 times what a 6 weight heifer is worth right now. Unless your cows are having three or four calves a year this would be a much better use of your pasture than cows. I'd say a lot of choice cattle are in the 1.60s on the rail this week if I was guessing. Worth about .95-.99 live. [/QUOTE]
