[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1759799, member: 1715"] Thanks for sharing the details. I was always impressed by Harlan' inability to show a profit with backgrounding. budgets He had several consistent assumptions that make it so: - heavy feeders (with a lower VOG) - charging for yardage (instead of zero OH) - using grain at exchange pricing (instead of taking benefit of local basis or by products) I used to do OK on light weight calves with an average of 3% death loss, but more buyers are after them now. I blame Draxin usage and sell-buy classes. What would your grid show for 4 wt. or 6 wt. bulls? BTOs can have the 500-to-550-pound steers. [/QUOTE]
