Cheap Cows Prove Higher Upfront Price Pays Over Time
Hashbrook of Grundy Center Iowa notes higher priced cows often yield greater long term profits. He cites two cows bought for about 500 dollars each that returned just over 900 dollars last year, and a high producing eight year old Holstein fetched 140 dollars, with 150 dollar profit after feed. He warns buyers to avoid cheap stock and uses a 560 dollar bull from H C Larsen’s herd to improve his herd for butterfat sales to restaurants.
