Market cow feeding return on investment versus direct to slaughter spreadsheet

This is a spreadsheet that assesses the estimated return on investment for feeding a market dairy cow for 60 days prior to shipping to market versus sending the cow direct to market. Revenue is calculated from estimated price per kg (relative to body condition score of the cow) and weight of the cow. Cost includes estimates of feed, yardage, potential losses (mortality and morbidity), and animal health costs.
