Most adult cows weigh between 800 and 1000 pounds. The average price for a cow is probably about $800.00 these days. Very few ranchers buy adult cows. They will breed their own, or purchase calves at various sizes and raise them.
Looking at the income side, the FBM records from 2010 indicate the average weight of calves sold at weaning time was 594 pounds. Using a current price of $158 per hundredweight (cwt) for 600 pound cattle and rounding the weight off at 600 pounds means a weaned calf value of $948.
