[QUOTE="somn, post: 352252, member: 3721"] Aplus that thought process makes your example even worse now you are double dipping. You say the starting point is after you have already raised the heifer but yet you include the expenses when you tell us how much it cost to raise the heifer to weaning @ $1 per day. Are you trying to tell everyone that you can sell your heifers for $865 on sale day netting a $500 profit after paying the cow upkeep. In addition to that if your going to add the lost revenue to the cost of retaining the heifer. You need to subtract the same dollar value from the expense of raising the retained hiefer. If she is worth $500 to sell her she is still worth $500 to keep her. Take the $500 calf value off the $815. You can't show a value for lost revenue of a calf you didn't sell when you retained her without putting a value on her while she still is on the farm. You can question my reading comprehension all day long as it is obvious that I can comprehend well enough to see your error even though you can't see it. I guess that meens I can comprehend better than you. I shouldn't say it that way what I should say is I understand the cattle industry and you do not. If a calf is worth $500 at a sale it is worth $500 on the farm. Maybe it is that Kansas math you spoke of. [/QUOTE]
