[QUOTE="Bama, post: 489700, member: 1184"] The one biggest number I go by is how much a cow makes me in "dollars per day" The program I use figures it down to that per cow or calf. If calf "a" makes me $150 and calf "b" makes me $ 60 dollars which one is best. If it took calf "a" 425 days to do it thats only .35cent per day. If calf "b" did it in 90 days thats .67 cents per day. I could turn three type "b" calves as opposed to 1 type "a" calf in the same amount of time. I plug in the current prices for cattle and my program figures the dollars per day. If one ain't gaining weight to my advantage I dump it and replace it with one that will. Cattle ain't my number one source of income but I look at it as it is. If I can't make money on them it would be cheaper to invest in a CD and and rent or sell hay off of the land. I realize I micro manage my herd. Some call me a tightwad or a nerd. I admit I resemble both those remarks. Caustic is right you have to have a number as to what ole Belle is costing you before you can figure your profit. Ugh ohh I think I just called Caustic a nerd. He has been called a lot on here but thats the first time I remember him being called a nerd. [/QUOTE]
