Bill’s neighbor, who was not an alumnus but had been on our mailing list for years, invited us over for a beer, and started asking questions. When Bill said he weaned an 85% calf crop, the neighbor scoffed and bragged that his weaning rate is usually 95%. His cows calve in March. Not surprisingly, he feeds a lot of supplement and substitute feed. After a little napkin math I showed him that his feed costs were nearly $500/cow, $440, higher than Bill’s. That’s $440/cow to wean 10 more calves per 100 cows or $4,400 for each of those extra 10 calves.
I suggest every one look at it. Ben | |
