Abstract: Many cow/calf producers struggle with what is a fair price to pay for cows or heifers in an up cattle market. This article is designed to demonstrate the important relationship between profitability and debt serving capacity. With high calf prices, it is important for each producer to analyze the investment and financial feasibility of purchasing breeding animals. Only after determining the profitability of the investment can a sound decision be made.
