[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 827925, member: 9"] Considering the cost to keep a recently bred cow, later calving, calf weaned at ~205 days, can figure about $1,000 "invested" in that calf. This is your BREAK EVEN point. Considering quality forage, hay, minerals, vaccinations, de-worming, water and NO land payment or lease. Also, doesn't include direct and indirect overhead, etc. What one sells a calf for is rarely more than what it cost to breed, board cow and raise a calf to selling. On the other hand, if you can buy a weaned calf for $200 to 300 let it survive mostly on its own in pasture and later sell it for $500 or more...might make a little money. [/QUOTE]
