[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 696463, member: 8978"] Bez: You might be very right about my feed costs being low...I was just picking out a "best guess" scenario. As I said before the high cost of feed will not affect me as I am dispersing this fall. I'm trying to get some more age and weight on the calves before the whole works go to town. Steve: I think this year is sort of an anomily for grass cattle, at least here in Canada. A falling market and poor growing conditions can do that, but grass cattle can be risky for sure? I like how you guys are "cost conscious"....it is refreshing to see some people actually know their costs and make decisions based on economic reality! Sadly lacking in a lot of farmers/ranchers in my opinion. I am amazed when I read what some of the people come up with on this site? It seems many couldn't care one bit if they make a dollar or not! As much as I love the country way of life I decided a long time ago I wasn't all that keen on working for free. The last few years the net profit has been pretty poor in the cow business and hey, there are only so many hours in the day to put the beans on the table and keep the wolf from the door! I am quite jittery about this whole economy thing? I sure wish the wizards in Ottawa and Washington would get their act together and get this darned economy stabilized, instead of goofing off and playing silly games! I got a bad feeling about this one. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
