    anyone know approx what it would cost to keep an extra 10 beef cattle( steers) on a farm? what extra feed costs are we talking? (silage grass ration etc) when buying in the cattle at 11-12 months of age and fattening them for the year and sending them for slaughter next year at 24 months?

    how do I work that out?


    Thanks

    Every farms different work out your purchase price work out your finished price ( realistically) minus your dosing, vets, land cost fertilizer bedding esb slurry, all the other bits and pieces and you’ll probably realize your better off without them.

    I am seeing if I can. I am new to this I.e management side of things. I have slatted house that could hold 45 cows so think I'm ok on that basis.
