[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 934649, member: 9115"] I wasn't gonna' get into this, but it's hot out and it feels good inside. Agman, please don't take anything personal, I'm using you as an example just because you're willing to share your operation with us. Management style has a cost of production just the same as out of pocket expenses. I'm using Agman's 100 cow herd as the example. I may not get every number correct, it's the best example of reading his posts that I can remember. 1. Agman has stated that his cows are a 4 or 5 frame cow, raising calves that will sell in the top 10% of his market. Great, but, if he weans off the cow 500 lb. calves that bring 10% of 1.75/cwt, if costs him 17 cents per hundred lbs. 17cents x500lbs. extra cost of his production $85 per calf He has stated that he never calls a vet. If one gets sick and can't recover, it dies. Cost of productive cow, $2000, lost calf that doesn't sell $1050. Total $3050 divided by 100. I am figuring that he has lost 20 cows over 20 years. Extra cost $30/calf Never worm cows. I think university studies show a $50 return on worming cows. I will figure $30 $30/calf He calves year around. Wish I could. 90% calf crop. 10 lost calves @ $1050= $10,500 $105/calf Enphodyte fescue, me, agaman, dun or anyone else has no idea what this costs us. We have spent a lifetime adapting cows to it. Put our cows on some native grasses or some bermuda and we may wean 1000lb. calves put your own number here He likes 1000lb. cows for his operation. Culls are selling for $75/cwt. 1400lb. cows will put $300 more per cow in his pocket. Sell 5 per year. $15 per calf This is what I can think of. It's $250 per calf, not counting the fescue. I'm aware that some things will be offset with other costs, but my point is that even mangement styles have their own costs.I'm sure that there are other things. but you get my drift. gs Agman, sorry to use you as an example, but that's all you are in my post.
