[QUOTE="tripil7z, post: 758184, member: 13071"] What is a good price per head profit at weaning.I'm friends with a local dairyman and I raise Holstien bulls. Sometimes I get them crossed with beef if I'm lucky.I then feed them up on plenty of cracked corn ( he says whole corn is better ) and milk untill weaning.I have about 1 acre for them to graze so my head count is small,but I turn them once every 6 months.I then band them and sell them off as steers.I would love to hear from all different folks on this,those who have all purebreed herds Angus,Hereford,etc... and those who have beef x herds.After ALL expenses what would one typically make per head ? Keep in mind your feeding 2, the cow and the steer.Unless you sell the cow off to recoop some funds. So what is good,200,300,400,500 per head ? I know market,weather,loss,and other things come into play here I'm just looking for a general figure here.Thank you,Tripil7z [/QUOTE]
