[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 604699, member: 7645"] In last week's Alabama Livestock Market News 576 lb Med & Lrg 2 steers were bringing 79.73 cwt ($459) and Med & Lrg 2 525 lb heifers were bringing 73.67 cwt ($387) for an avg calf price of ~$423. They are bringing a little better down here than you are seeing there; but still it gets to be real tight at these numbers. This is a year where it would have been better to contract a price in advance or to have sold earlier and lighter. Instead of shipping trailer loads of $387 heifers, this MIGHT be a year too look into stockering or retaining ownership. Using that $423 number and my admittedly low cost operator numbers I get 154 cows, 260 cows, and 366 cows add in higher fertilizer, feed, and fuel costs (like we saw this year) or a mortgage and it gets really difficult to come up with those levels of profits.
