[QUOTE="stocky, post: 754276, member: 1150"] Just with the general info you gave, the slaughter price on the cows would be 13,680 and the feeder calf price would be 8400, for a total of 22,080. That is based on cows being 1200 lbs at 60 cents per pound avg. Today, most slaughter cows were 62-65 cents, so I might be a little light. Calves at 400 lbs and 1.40 avg would be 560 each, so at 6-8 months, the calves are probably bigger than 400, so I might be a little light there, also. I agree, I would take all those 6 month and older calves to the auction and then just sell the cows. Whoever tries to buy the group is going to plan on making money on those calves, it might as well be you that does that. Good luck in your decisions [/QUOTE]
