At Sunday brunch after church today my friend and I got into a discussion on why there wasn't more profit on cow/calf operations around here. With calf prices being pretty good you would think there would be ( although costs are also high). The discussion led to percent calf crop. He felt the average in this area was 80 -85%. I am wondering , what is a typical percent calf crop in your area, and what size cow herd would that represent ??
