Have you not ever heard the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?Dixieangus":1sc1cd7c said:I had been buying a few calves 325 lbs there was a good bit of money in it if you had 10 ..do you think i should buy about 4 calves in august or is it better to buy one or two calves and 1 or 2 3 in 1`s
Means you seem to be doing just fine. I'd not change a thing.Dixieangus":1sc1cd7c said:I buy nice calves i dont pay no more then a 350 dollar calf i bought a nice calf that weighed 325 for 289 $..When i mean a good bit i mean for me im in school so the extra helps i like to make 125 and higher a calf after all expenses thats not alot for your work if you have 2 or 3 thats about 300 if you do good for 2 or 3 but if you have lets say 15 and make 150 per calf thats 2250$ not to bad to go out and feed and check on them and maybe wrangle a few up.. How did i get that?? If your wondering...15 calves at 325 a piece 15 x325 = 4875 I feed and graze mine so depends on how much u gonna feed them to get that sum but im gonna say 750$ to really put the weight on them i raise them to about 550 to 600 pounds that takes me about 4 months..So for calves 4875$
feed 750$ Say they weigh an average of 575 and after the sell takes there cut out it leaves you with 525 a calf
4875 plus 750 = 5625 in costs add or take a little 525 a calf x 15 =7875
7875 -5625 =2250 there you have it a profit of 2250 That might not be much for some but its ok for me while im this young
Dieselbeef you live in florida im in North Mississippi good little drive for calves but hey bring a semi with trailer and it may be worth it...dieselbeef":2xw9gnlg said:i want some 350lb calfs for 285 $. how far is the drive
