graft calves are worth say 200 to $300.
A fat hiefer ( put her in the lot and sell her out fat next summer weighing 1,300 to 1,400 ) is worth say another 1,400 to $1,500.
Jeez....not to bad a gross back for a cull pair, Total is say 1,600 to $1,700 for em.
If your a cow guy with a feedlot you can get REAL picky on culling these cows cause they might make more fat than they do keeping em.
I like your thinking Mark, most of us cattlemen look at this as a nuisance, you look at it as a marketing opportunity. |
