[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1851121, member: 32659"] [USER=6291]@Brute 23[/USER] We weaned first week in December this year. Calves avg weight I'd guess at 475#. We fed 8# a day until March 15th then tapered off to a few days a week. Our feed cost was $310 a ton so around $1.25 a day per hd. So I'd guess $125-130 per hd in feed and another $6 in shots at weaning. We sold on April 15th this year, the Steers avg. 656# @ $2.76 and Hfrs 609# @ 609. I was happy with this. Definitely not the best group of calves we've weaned but they turned out for us. Had a group of 9 steers that weighed 618 and brought $2.99 out of this bunch. It's hard to say for sure but looking at the prices in December compared to when we sold I'd guess we made $8-9,000 by keeping this group of 55 calves. I wish I had it in me to keep records like you do. [/QUOTE]
