How much do you need to sell your calves for next fall? With the high cost of feed this winter and the probability of high pasture costs next summer? Figure your costs as if you had to actually pay for them...example if you could sell your hay for $100/ton or rent your pasture out at $30/AUM. I do believe we just might need a raise next year!

vkoff: My neighbor claims he needs $1200/calf next fall! I told him good luck!! I do believe calves will be up next fall, but no-way that much. You are sure right about all the other costs. Why is it that beef or grain can go down but machinery just seems to cost more and more every year? And yet a lot of farm machinery dealerships are in big trouble and even the manufactures don't seem to be doing all that great?
