[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1775536, member: 1715"] Steers - - 469# sold for U$S 1074 and 520# sold for $ 1165. So, 51# more sold for $ 91 or value of gain of $1.78 per lb.. Results will vary but you should be able to put weight on for less than that. Most of these calves were purchased as bulls so both groups worked well. Heifers - - 429# sold for U$S 905 and 521# sold for $ 925. So, 92# more sold for $20 or value of gain of $ 0.22 per pound. These calves were penned together, and the bigger heifers may have gotten a little fleshy. Some girls just wanna have more whole shell corn. Putting more pounds on these heifers was not profitable. Heifer demand is more variable here. Are you seeing soft er pricing for 6 wt. heifers like we are? [/QUOTE]
