[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 874659, member: 694"] Article has some good point's the thing it doesn't take into account is regional input cost. If you can maintain a cow on .75 a day retaining may make business sense, where as if your cost run $1.25 a day it most likely doesn't other than genetic's and that comes at a cost. It is about at the end of the year did your employee the cow make money, not your hay or I sold this or that. The cow has to pay her way or she is on welfare. Again their are many that think a retained heifer is free just like when they get their salebarn check and tell everyone how much the made on their cow's. [/QUOTE]
