[QUOTE="Dave, post: 976386, member: 498"] Every year I buy a number of older cows and calf them out. I wean the calves when grass starts to fade in late summer. Cows go straight to the sale. I hold the calves for a month or so and sell weaned calves. There are huge regional differences around the country on the prefect weight to sell calves. The small end of my steer calves were just under 400 pounds and brought $1.60. The 550 pound steers brought $1.55. The biggest sort went 695 and brought $1.42. So by the head that is $640, $852, and $986. check with your local markets before deciding when the best time to sell is. Last years cows averaged costing me a little over $800 a head. They killed for a $723 average. [/QUOTE]
