kf i am not knocking your reply's i just dont understand them sorry i am alittle week minded more musle than brain. thanks to everyone who reply's

sorry to point this out but when you put a pound of gain on $1.50 5 weight steer it is not worth $1.50 as the steer gets bigger your gain is worth less and cost more to put on.ie a 5 weight $1.50 steer will never get worth any more. i can buy #250-300 for around $1.00/# they sold some #800 for...

all will become steers at some point,i have lots of grass sorry kf but your reply just well :bang: :bang: :bang: :?

what would be adg on grass? 300#bulls 4# of growing ration and all the fescue they want. will they gain more if left as bull till 500# always grazed blacks and cross breds but cant make the numbers work at these prices 1.50 and up these will come from the dairy no sale barn holsteins 2 rounds of...

I know one thing you can only hit what you aim at and i am not aiming to break even. YOU MuST MAKE A PROFIT

Thanks for replys. I think a will do some mixing maybe start at 2/3hf and 1/3ddg. When i first started feeding ddg a friend of mine bought it by the truck load and i just went over and used 5gal buckets to put it in sacks. But he has cut back on numbers and dosnt want to buy a truck afraid it...

I thought the ddg was a little high that price is for the big bulk bags. If I had a place to store a truck load it would be $129/ton delivered. I feed 4# per head per day ddg If I go with the hominy feed I could feed 5.5# per head pre day for the same cost. If I go with a 1/2hf/1/2ddg I could...

What is cost of gain per day? That tells you where your at and what to do next. First and formost is to make a profit.

I can buy hominy feed for $100/ton I just want to know how this compares with ddg at $140/ton. And if I mix them say 1/2hf and 1/2ddg what the protien and fat would be. Or maybe 2/3ddg and 1/3hf. Mainly want to know if the hominy feed is cheep at that price I have fed #1000 before and they eat...

thanks for replys there close to what i had in mind,as for cost lumber and pywood is cheep right now and my labor has always been cheep but then again you get what you pay for. :lol:

Look for plans to build out of plywood and lumber. Any ideas where to look i googled but had no luck.

Sell and replace at a profit.

The guy i buy mine from backs the truck in a bay of his pole barn. Puts down some cheap tarps and unloads it. He feeds about 600# a day with 5 gal buckets and 50# sacks. He runs about 400 head of stockers give or take a pot load. Says he could go out and buy a fancey feed wagon but he would...

Every expense is out of pocket. Your corn is worth market value weather you feed it or sell it. You cant know if your making a profit if you dont know what your cost is. Your cost of gain should include every expense. (grain,grass,water,meds,wormer,fuel, etc)

I was just trying to add some humor.You both add some good info to the post and I thank you both.

You two still going at it. I think its time you both grew up. Never mind forgot you where yankees. :lol2: :banana: :lol2: :clap:

Your right stocker steve, gota stay flexable to stay proffitable.

mama always told me if you cant say somthing nice dont say anything.

thanks for all the info,dont think what i had in mind will be profitable. if takes 50#/silage a day to put on 1.5#/gain . thats about .66 cents to put on .69 worth of gain.thank again for info
