[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1627052, member: 1715"] Cow/Calf numbers did not look great last year. Farm Business Management just published the northern Minnesota 2019 per cow numbers - - they averaged $646 direct expenses plus $182 of overhead vs. $605 income. Och. Good thing we are all above average on CT! :cowboy: I myself have a 150% calf crop this spring. Some would point out that I only calved out two cows so far, producing a nice bull calf and a pair of live twins, but I am trying to stay positive. Figur'in folks would look past per cow numbers to focus on net per acre, so you can compare to other options like $2.50 corn. I did that last year and decided to run more yearlings. They look really good in the pen but I am showing a paper loss so far. :( Stay tuned. With production numbers like this I decided to focus more on pandemic marketing. I have been selling freezer beef and some sort off animals on CL. Da wife is running out of places to stash the cash and thinks we are wildly profitable. :banana: Good thing she does not do the enterprize analysis. [/QUOTE]
