What is the price relationship between a bred heifer and a steer calf?

A steer calf will sell higher when it is a lighter weight than if it where a heavier weight. For example, a 500 lb steer will sell at $125/cwt and a 900 lb steer will sell at $96/cwt. In total, a 500 lb steer and a 900 lb steer will go for $625 and $864, respectively. (cwt = per hundred weight, or per 100 lbs)
Bred heifers generally are more expensive than steer calves, as they can go from $700 to $1000 per head.
I think the price relationship for steer calves and bred heifers are that when more calves are being sold at a higher price, its gets more expensive to buy bred heifers, but more bred heifers can be sold. When steer prices go down, then that means the prices for bred cows go down and that gives the opportunity for bred heifers to be bought at a low price, but not sold.

What is the difference between grey and green economy?
A "gray (or grey) economy" or "gray market" is a part of the economy that is not fully accounted for in official accounting or statistics. It is a type of secondary market that was not the original intention of the manufacturer or buyer. It is similar to a "black market," only not illicit.A "green economy" is an economy that takes into account ecological and environmental factors. It attempts to offset the negative effects of human activities, tries to steer away from models based on fossil fuels, and focus on things like renewable energy.
Does being rich related to economics?
It is related but not entirely. You can relate from the most worthless worker to the top. For instance when the 2008 recession hit, there was a drastic decrease in demand for workers because no one is buying. The CEO on top is probably thinking he can't afford as many workers so he either starts laying off workers or encourages slashing shifts to a bare minimum, which was what happened to me. However, to really be rich, in my opinion, you have to be in charge and calling the shots, so you will be able to steer yourself into the direction you want to be in. However, keep in mind that no matter what your economic situation is, unless you're in a 3rd world country, then there will always be demand for doctors and food.
Why has David Cameron stated he will resign after UK citizens voted to leave the European Union EU?
When he originally was asked about his future if a leave vote was successful Cameron stated on national TV that he would remain in his position as the decision was the public's and he would be there to lead the country through. He also muted that he and his "team" didn't see a leave vote actually being successful. This was despite the continued growth of negative feeling about who actually was running the UK was it the UK Parliament or the European Parliament. Many since the vote have stated that Cameron and his advisors and lead politicians were out of touch with grassroots feeling. Now having had the results he has changed his mind and decided he is not the person to steer the UK through.
Can you have some definitions for strategy from differents authors?
Strategy is perspective, position, plan, and pattern. Strategy is the bridge between policy or high-order goals on the one hand and tactics or concrete actions on the other. Strategy and tactics together straddle the gap between ends and means. In short, strategy is a term that refers to a complex web of thoughts, ideas, insights, experiences, goals, expertise, memories, perceptions, and expectations that provides general guidance for specific actions in pursuit of particular ends. Strategy is at once the course we chart, the journey we imagine and, at the same time, it is the course we steer, the trip we actually make. Even when we are embarking on a voyage of discovery, with no particular destination in mind, the voyage has a purpose, an outcome, an end to be kept in view.Strategy According to Michael PorterIn a 1996 Harvard Business Review article [5] and in an earlier book [6], Porter argues that competitive strategy is "about being different." He adds, "It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value." In short, Porter argues that strategy is about competitive position, about differentiating yourself in the eyes of the customer, about adding value through a mix of activities different from those used by competitors. In his earlier book, Porter defines competitive strategy as "a combination of the ends (goals) for which the firm is striving and the means (policies) by which it is seeking to get there." Thus, Porter seems to embrace strategy as both plan and position. (It should be noted that Porter writes about competitive strategy, not about strategy in general.) Strategy According to George SteinerGeorge Steiner, a professor of management and one of the founders of The California Management Review, is generally considered a key figure in the origins and development of strategic planning. His book, Strategic Planning [2], is close to being a bible on the subject. Yet, Steiner does not bother to define strategy except in the notes at the end of his book. There, he notes that strategy entered the management literature as a way of referring to what one did to counter a competitor's actual or predicted moves. Steiner also points out in his notes that there is very little agreement as to the meaning of strategy in the business world. Some of the definitions in use to which Steiner pointed include the following: Strategy is that which top management does that is of great importance to the organization.Strategy refers to basic directional decisions, that is, to purposes and missions.Strategy consists of the important actions necessary to realize these directions.Strategy answers the question: What should the organization be doing?Strategy answers the question: What are the ends we seek and how should we achieve them?Strategy According to Henry MintzbergHenry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning [3], points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four: Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there.Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy.Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets.Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction.Strategy According to Kenneth AndrewsKenneth Andrews presents this lengthy definition of strategy in his book, The Concept of Corporate Strategy [4]: "Corporate strategy is the pattern [italics added] of decisions in a company that determines and reveals its objectives, purposes, or goals, produces the principal policies and plans for achieving those goals, and defines the range of business the company is to pursue, the kind of economic and human organization it is or intends to be, and the nature of the economic and non-economic contribution it intends to make to its shareholders, employees, customers, and communities. (pp.18-19)."Andrew's definition obviously anticipates Mintzberg's attention to pattern, plan, and perspective. Andrews also draws a distinction between "corporate strategy," which determines the businesses in which a company will compete, and "business strategy," which defines the basis of competition for a given business. Thus, he also anticipated "position" as a form of strategy. Strategy as the basis for competition brings us to another Harvard Business School professor, Michael Porter, the undisputed guru of competitive strategy.I hope that answers the question.
Explain the difference between a traditional farmer to a modern farmer?
Traditional or old-type farming or early farming was focused more on subsistence than actually growing anything to sell, like with the modern farming methods. It involved much more manual labour and for longer hours than the more modern methods of today. Cropland was smaller, horses and oxen or steam-engines were used primarily for tilling, seeding and harvesting fields and crops, and there were no such things as fertiliser or pesticide chemicals to use in the fields, nor were there GMO crops nor nearly as many cultivars or varieties of a certain crop species to choose from. Farmers were highly dependent on climate and the weather to be able to bring in some profit margin or to help put food on the table. Livestock were always grazed out of doors, and managed just enough so that the offspring could be sold for some sort of profit. Selective breeding wasn't really started until 400 years ago (or around the 18th century).Modern farming is still highly dependent on climate and weather to be able to bring in a profit. Except for greenhouses, the vast majority of farms that grow crops cannot grow them indoors; with a vast amount of acreage to cover, it is impossible to grow cereal, oilseed or pulse crops under a climate-controlled area. Many vegetables are and can be grown indoors, but again, most of them are plant outdoors like they have been for hundreds or thousands of years.Modern farming is primarily an industry that involves growing food to feed many people from all over. The farmer is not growing food for himself, but rather for others who cannot grow food themselves. It involves much bigger equipment and less labour requirements (or rather, less people to hire) to cover a certain area of a field than what could be done 100 or 200 years ago. Fertilizers and pesticides are commonly used to get a much more cleaner crop with bigger returns per acre, and more varieties or cultivars of a certain species of plant are made available to farmers to grow for better yields, less lodging, more robustness and durability throughout the growing stages, and more growth or competitiveness over other plants that would be considered weeds. Crops are not just grown for human food, but for animal feed as well. Different varieties and cultivars are created for that purpose, and animals are selected so that they gain more efficiently on these feeds than they were designed to in the past.Livestock in modern farming and agriculture have been selected to grow twice as fast and "finish" half the time that it would normally take a steer, broiler, lamb or goat to finish 200 years ago. Livestock are selected to be more efficient according to what they are fed and how they are managed, be it for grain or for grass. There are more options out there on how to manage different species of livestock than in the past. Many animals are now raised indoors in intensive operations, much more so than in the past. Some types of livestock though are still raised as they were in the past, such as goats, sheep, beef cattle and a fair population of horses, but their genetics have changed over time to meet market demands and a producer's demands.In the developed countries, food is much more readily available with the onset of modern agriculture than in traditional agriculture. Food can easily be shipped from thousands of miles away to a grocery store near you, enabling you to get anything you want no matter the cost.Yet another notable difference between traditional and modern farming is the ability to network information to others who are involved in farming, want to get into farming or are not farming but involved in some form of agriculture just the same. Thanks to the Internet and governments more willing to support agriculture, information doesn't have to be passed down from generation to generation anymore, it can be passed across cyberspace to complete strangers who are interested in the same industry as the person sharing the information. In the past, tips and tricks and methods to run a farm were passed down from grandfather to father to son, hardly ever from farmer to farmer half a world away from each other or a hundred miles away. Today, a producer can learn about how things are done around East Texas, USA when he lives in the northern part of Alberta, Canada, or any other part of the world.

"It's either heifer or steer. Heifer means female and steer means male."Well - you are close. Actually, yes - you can use "she" and "he." Why not? But as far as heifer and steer- yes, the are gender specific, but not only gender specific. Heifers and cows are females . Males are called steers or bulls. A heifer is a female that has not yet calved, and a cow has had at least one calf. A steer starts his life as a bull calf- when they loose their "manhood" (castration) they are now steers. A bull is fully intact. Age and experience has nothing to do with their labels, it is solely their ability to reproduce.Typically, though, a cow is known as a "she," neither "he" and/or "she" because cows, as mentioned above, are mature female bovines (hence the "she") that have at least one (or two) calf/calves.
