  2. What is your feeder calf price objective?

  3. What is your feeder calf price objective?All that I can get!!

  4. Is that enough?

  5. Is that enough to… • cover cost of production?

  6. Is that enough to… • cover cost of production? • allow for growth/expansion?

  7. Is that enough to… • cover cost of production? • allow for growth/expansion? • contribute to retirement/savings account?

  8. Is that enough to… • cover cost of production? • allow for growth/expansion? • contribute to retirement/savings account? • provide a personal (financial) reward?

  9. Is that enough to… • cover cost of production? • allow for growth/expansion? • contribute to retirement/savings account? • provide a personal (financial) reward? • cover other items?

  11. Your Goals & Objectives • What do you want to accomplish with your cow-calf operation?

  12. Feeder Calf Price ObjectiveSee Table 1 • Feeder Calf Production Cost, UCOP • Growth/Investment Capital • Retirement/Savings • Personal Reward

  13. Feeder Calf Production Cost • What does it cost me to produce feeder calves?

  14. Feeder Calf Production Cost • What does it cost me to produce feeder calves? • Accurate and Detailed Records • Production • Financial • Schedule F Form

  15. Feeder Calf Production CostSee Table 2 • Animal Production Information • Exposed Cows (Beginning Inventory) - Head • Total Number of Weaned Calves - Head • Total Weight of Weaned Calves - Pounds

  16. Feeder Calf Production CostSee Table 2 • Animal Production Information • Financial Information • Purchased Feed Costs • Raised Feed Costs • Grazing Costs • Cattle Costs • Interest Costs • Indirect Costs

  17. Feeder Calf Production CostSee Table 2 • Adjustments to Financial Information • Other Enterprise Expenses • Non-calf revenue • Opportunity Cost on Owned Capital • Unpaid Labor/Management

  18. Feeder Calf Production CostSee Table 3 • Example Feeder Calf Production Cost: • $91.67 per cost hundredweight (UCOP)

  19. Feeder Calf Price ObjectiveSee Table 3 • Feeder Calf Production Cost (UCOP) $ 91.67 • Growth/Investment Capital $ 10.00 • Retirement/Savings $ 5.00 • Personal Reward $ 5.00 • Feeder Calf Price Objective $111.67 $ / Cwt.

  20. Feeder Calf Price Objective • Heifer Price Objective • Steer Price Objective

  21. Feeder Calf Price Objective • Heifer Weight Ratio • Total Heifer Weight/Total Feeder Weight • Steer Weight Ratio • Total Steer Weight/Total Feeder Weight • Steer - Heifer Price Difference • Steer Price minus Heifer Price

  22. Feeder Calf Price Objective • Heifer Price Objective = • Feeder Calf Price Objective MINUS • Steer-Heifer Price Difference TIMES • Steer Weight Ratio

  23. Feeder Calf Price Objective • Steer Price Objective = • Feeder Calf Price Objective PLUS • Steer-Heifer Price Difference TIMES • Heifer Weight Ratio

  24. Feeder Calf Price ObjectiveSee Table 3 • Heifer Price Objective = • $111.67/cwt – ($4.00 cwt. X .54) • $109.50/cwt • Steer Price Objective = • $111.67/cwt + ($4.00 cwt. X .46) • $113.50/cwt

  25. Some Items That May Skew The Feeder Calf Price Objective Estimate • Accelerated Depreciation • Buying inputs for future time periods • Weaning earlier or later than normal • Adverse weather (droughts, floods, etc.) • Herd health situation • And others…..

  26.
