Beef heifer planning budget

"This budget presents information useful to beef farmers. Table 1 presents estimates for the 2021 year for buying heifer calves and selling as bred replacement heifers in Missouri. Assumptions were based on price forecasts as of October 2020. Detailed assumptions are summarized in Tables 2-4. The production practices used to develop these cost estimates are common for beef farms in Missouri. Farmers are encouraged to customize this budget to fit their operation."--First page.Written by: Wesley Tucker (Field Specialist, Agricultural Business); Eldon Cole (Field Specialist, Livestock); Joe Horner (State Specialist, Agricultural Business and Policy)New 10/18; Revised 10/2
