That includes depreciation, my labor etc. One reason my cost per calf is so high I scaled back my stocking rate due to poor pasture and it raised my per cow cost. I would like to get it down to $ 350 per cow and if anybody is doing this at a lower cost I need to come to your ranch. One other thing I am charging the hay I cut at $ 45 per role even though my cost is alot less than that.dun":c1xu691z said:flaboy":c1xu691z said:Oh, I would also mention if you have $400 in each calf, something is wrong somewhere.
I don;t think that in some areas 400 bucks is all that bad. If that includes, as it should, the cost of the cows upkeep, vaccinations, minerals, value of the forage it consumes, depreciation of facilities, etc.
