[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 317744, member: 852"] Food for thought -- why factor in what the retained heifer would have been [i]worth [/i]at weaning? why not consider only the money put into her? If the average cow costs $350 a year in upkeep, then your heifer only [u]costs you[/u] $350 at weaning. She may be worth $600 but she hasn't cost you that. If you use Sidney's numbers after that, then that's an additional $286 to breeding age, which is $636 for a bred heifer. [/QUOTE]
