Calves Sell for Higher Returns Than Feeding Cattle in Illinois
Illinois farm records show calves at weaning earned more than cattle slaughter weights when feed and labor are considered. In 1963 both calves and slaughter cattle yielded about 19 dollars above feed cost, but costs to raise slaughter cattle cut profit, while cow herds stayed around 25 to 27 animals. Returns per 100 fed remained 117 dollars for beef cows and 116 dollars for feeder cattle over five years.
