[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1710975, member: 32659"] Would $200 do it? That would be about $12,000 per truck load. You could also say your making a $1 a day per head. If it takes 5-6 hrs a week to look after them that’s pretty good money. Especially if their on the same place the mother cows are on just in another pasture. I’m not saying that everyone should wean or background or even saying that it pays to do so. I just think that when Cattle raisers as a group pretty well say “ there’s just not enough money in cattle” it’s important to know what is “enough”. We know what are cost are so it’s pretty easy to put a figure on what we think is a good profit. I do think it’s important to figure things per head though. I’ve got a friend that runs close to 400 hd. He quit doing spring vaccinations because he said it was just too expensive. I told him I thought it was well worth the cost and he got into how it cost him way more than it does someone with 50 hd. When I told him it was $10 a hd wether you had 1 or a million he didn’t have anything else to say. [/QUOTE]
