[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 932645, member: 8973"] I read many of the posts here regarding costs of production along with low returns. Either many of the operations are for hobby or input costs are out of control. My feeder calf income carries the entire herd and I intend to make a profit with todays prices and in the future when the prices drop. Paramount if in this business for profit is getting the input expenses under control instead of dwelling on what cross with what breed which is IMO too often debated. With my low overhead I have no need to address the cost to raise a heifer as I will more than recover that as a bonus from her when she eventually goes to market. Concentrating on buying expensive cows now and anticipating on whether a profit will be had or not in the future is more than a dice throw. Get the input costs under control to where you know now if you can make a profit in the future at more realistic sell prices and make your decisions on that information would be my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
