Are cattle being slaughtered below cost price?

Would like to hear from sucker to beef farmers. Are you getting a margin from slaughter? What kind of margin? Some say to keep a cow is 600 p.a. What is it to keep a weanling? And a yearling? And to push a 2yr old for factory?

Very often.
Often although a finisher might make a twist on them the suckler farmer would have made a loss, sometimes both make a loss.
