[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1309355, member: 21626"] Opportunity cost is what you lose by not selling them as feeders. Since the shorthorns take such a hit at feeder size, there is less opportunity cost to be factored in at the end. When a breeder retains ownership, they are essentially "buying" their own calf, and that's a cost that needs to be factored in when deciding whether or not to retain ownership. It may not have a cash transaction involved, but opportunity cost is a real expense that should be factored in when determining profitability. [/QUOTE]
