[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1719863, member: 32659"] By that logic we shouldn't even own Cattle. There is infrastructure cost involved but the cost of it goes down every year you make the extra money from weaning. In fact most everything you buy holds it's value or goes up in value every year. 3 years ago I paid $10k for a 30 ton feed bin. It has saved me around $12k in feed cost alone not to mention the fuel and labor involved in using sacks. I'd guess I could sell it for $12,000 today. You are right though not everyone should wean calves. We can at least agree on that. My figures are cowboy math and things definitely don't pan out every year but 8 out of 10 will be better. [/QUOTE]
