[QUOTE="Norfolk Hill Farmer, post: 4775092, member: 82100"] More like IMO, barley / protein feed £170 per ton, would need 2 ton ish. Continental bull calf capable of grading R or better would be closer to £280. Straw / bedding could be £70 per head per year. Vaccines £8. Other medication and allowing for some mortality say £30. Selling price perhaps R4L at 270 KG 350ppkg £945 minus haulage and deductions £920 against costs of £728. Would also have to factor in costs of machinery to feed and bed, as well as labour/time spent on cattle housed all year round. By my back of an envelope calculations it's do able, but lots of other costs can creep up. [/QUOTE]
