[QUOTE="nxy, post: 8065021, member: 466"] I am not in the UK I accept that but when I look at my costings its the finishing where no money is being made. I run 60 sucklers and finish everything on the farm. What the figures tell me to do is sell weaned calves. My sucklers are possibly the most profitable part of my business. My sucklers cost me very little, they live almost constantly outside and eat rough hay and straw. We have just started calving to coincide with grass growth and some are looking a bit thin. No fert will go on the grass this year though normally we use 30 units of N or so. The rest is down to muck. Cows never see silage or grain. If you need lots of fert you are over stocked and if you only cut one cut of late hay you use a lot less diesel. [/QUOTE]
