The recent market has been brighter than bright for dairies selling dairy-beef crossbred calves. It is not unheard of for these day-old calves to bring $600 to $700 or more, significantly more than full dairy calves.
As the saying goes, though, past performance is no guarantee of future success.
“No market stays static, and the market for beef-on-dairy calves is no exception,” says Brady Hicks, manager of Simplot Animal Sciences. “What is your plan to deal with future calf market fluctuations? If you don’t have a strategy in place, now is a good time to do so.”
