Best Answer

A lactating dairy cow is expected to eat around 5 to 6% of her body weight in dry matter ration per day. How much she eats (as in kg or lb) is determined by factors such as moisture level in the feed, the body weight of the cow, and others. Thus, a cow may eat anywhere from 40 lbs to 100 lbs of feed per day.

Price depends on location cattle are sold at, time of year, where in the cattle cycle we're at, age, sex, weight, health, horns present or not, excess ear (or for some areas, lots of ear), and sometimes even colour (like in the American markets where black cattle are encouraged and get a premium). Most cattle are sold on a $/lb basis or a cwt basis ($/100 lb).

A registered calf, cow, heifer or bull will sell higher than a commercial calf, cow, heifer or bull or one that is of unknown breeding. Lighter/younger calves (steers and heifers) sell higher than heavier/older calves. Steers sell for more than heifers. Bologna bulls sell for slightly more than cutter/canner cows, though at times the prices can be relatively the same. Bred heifers sell higher than open heifers. Bred cows sell higher than open cows and 3-in-1 cows (bred cows with calf at side) sell higher than bred cows. And, last but not least, cattle that are in good condition showing good health will sell higher than cattle that are in poor condition and sickly-looking.

Cows will go on a $ per lb or per cwt basis. Best to see your local auction for current prices.
