Costs are not high per calf as comparer! to unit costs in other similar here! improvement programs practiced by producers of other types of livestock. What producer can not afford to invest 63c75c per calf, or even a couple of bucks, which is considerably above B'.C.I.A. rates, if he increases his income $15.00 per calf? Remember one Rappahannock County man has already increased his calf value bet/ ter than $30.00 per head. I say the commercial breeder can’t afford not to have his herd in BICA .if you think otherwise, you’ve got to show me.
As far as when is the best time to enter a herd is concerned, my answer is most anvtinte Before the calves are bom. If plan to start NOW._..start keying birth dates and identifying calves with their dams by use of metal par tags.
For further information copie by the office and let’s talk it over. But all remember there is nothing in the near future for beef cattle but lower prices. You can offset a lower .price per pound by a BCIA program that will increase the weight of your calves.
