[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1710141, member: 38101"] My unweaned March calves are gaining weight too and I've yet to feed a bale. They've never gone backwards either. It's more than a little amusing to quote a market report (3-5 cents a lb premium) then instantly say the premium is 10 cents but ok we'll go with that. 600lb calf = $60/hd premium - working them - 2 rounds of vaccine - increased death and sickness loss - feed cost - loss of gain during weaning. What kind of facilities can I afford to rush out to build for that "profit"? What if you only get $18/HD more like the report suggests, what would you do with all the money? [/QUOTE]
