100 head @ $4500 per head = $450,000 just saying
4500 for cattle?
Looks like to me you are grossly overpaying. About 10 times the going price unless you were looking at cow / calf pairs.

That’s way high
Hoof price slaughter cows is 50-100 per 100 weight
That is 600-1000 a cow baring monsters
But caveat I raise horses not cows and don’t eat them though I had horse meat in France once
My horses are pets basically
