| Their selling last years calves for $700. Did they feed those calves from weaning till now for free????? At my house a 2.2 lb gain cost $1.60 a day(backgrounding). So if they weaned after harvest????? And when that calf hits the feedlot the cow does him no good. And every cow man I have talked to says it takes about $500 a year to feed and care for the cow. So with less then $550 going back to the cow how does this work again. Kinda looks like trucker math. (If I drove a 1000 miles and I charged $3 I neted $3000) I love the cow guys and wish them well, But for me eggs come from a carton and feeder cattle come from a truck. | |
