A Big Dollar.Dividend
in the pas. t cow -calf pro-
ducers have been able to
generate more dollars by
increasing weaning weights
andincreasing herd size.
But when the barns or pas-
tures get full and weaning
weights have stabilized
what can you do to generate
moredollars in our current
down market?
No, it's not buy another
farm or switch breeds, the
answer is to target in on the
reproductive state of your
herd. Data from across the
nation point'sout that the
area of reproduetiou
aceoUnts for 47 per cent ,of.
the eeonomie performance
of your herd. For every cow
that doesn't conceive :ddrin
the first 21 days of the
breeding, season you have
lost $S0 - $100 of potential
income. For every cow that
you .carry over open: for a
year, she costs you $350
$450 in expenses andshe,.
contributes nothing 'to
income.
in particular a one per
cent increase iii conception
rate, contributes: $6.34 per
cow to net income, and a
one per cent increase in
calving rate contributes
$3.59, Therefore, paying
attention to getting cows
bred -and carved out, has the
potential, of adding nearly
$10 to your bottom lure. On
a 500 lb. calf that's equiva-
lent to an extra two cents on
the market price.
