[QUOTE="Yale, post: 6738730, member: 19"] Interesting,but do you properly cost how much a weaned calf costs from your suckler herd into your store/finishing unit? If there is little profit from the weaned calves then you have to ask why keep the cows,why not buy suckler type stores and twice as many? If beef prices weakened further due to imports then sucklers will be the first to take the hit....and already have. With regard to genetics beef has hit a wall really but sheep improvement keeps marching on. Does anyone ever thank you for bringing another 10 beast into the supply chain,I guess not. Expansion all depends on how efficient logistics on farm are so suits some more than others however using a calculator rather than a concrete mixer is the first step. [/QUOTE]
