      abstract = {The study was conducted in Carbo, Sonora, Mexico, in 2017,  in order to determine production strategies calves under  favorable environments of increase in prices, evaluating:  1) Early weaning (DP), 2) Creep feeding (CF) and 3)  Control, and analyze the cost benefit and profit from them.  Sixty animals at random from a group of 100 cows five years  of age were selected Charbray race. For each treatment, 30  animals, 15 were females offspring and 15 male offspring.  The variables evaluated were: (1) Weight at weaning of  calves, (2) Weight of cows at weaning, (3) Weight sale of  the offspring; (4) Weight and body condition of cows at  weaning, pregnancy rate and calving interval, (5)  Production Costs of kilos of meat and (6). Projection of  profitability in three scenarios in an area with capacity  for 100 animals. All variables were analyzed using analysis  of variance (P <0.05). Financial runs were performed using  computer software for analysis and evaluation Agricultural  Investment. The average daily gain of calves was 1.13 and  0.451 kg/animal/day for DP and Witness, respectively  treatments. The percentage of cows calving was 95 and 85  and 50, open and the number of days was 90, 165 and 240,  for the treatment of DP, CF) and the Control, respectively.  The control treatment showed negative balances during the  10-year projection. With the DP the best results, with  annual earnings from the third year ranging from $938,976  to $1,114,945 pesos. The DP showed to be a viable option  for increasing the productivity and profitability of farms.  The results of the financial analysis show that the  greatest benefit is achieved with the DP as it enables the  production of calves steadily during the 10 years of the  project, compared to the control; which presents lag in  production.},
