[QUOTE="bball, post: 1401161, member: 23752"] Steve, would you care to expound upon this thought more? I am always interested in learning and this statement has my attention. I would like to know how you project profitability on a cow by cow basis. Its rather easy to do when reviewing last years productivity. I am much more interested in your thought process on the projecting (future) aspects? Presuming all the basics are in place, like the cow is bred, on time, etc etc. What criteria do you use to discriminate between those cows that will project greater profitability over her peers? The thought i keep coming up with involves the feed bill, as this is typically the greatest expense in most operations (whether in the form of hay, property taxes, rental etc) Or are there some other aspects ? Such as using past calf growth/production records? And if feed consumption is a variable you consider, how do you track or estimate with some degeree of accuracy? Thanks [/QUOTE]
