[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 145552, member: 1715"] With either stockers or backgrounding - - the average daily gain is a big profit factor. Stockers need a much higher quality pasture than cows to have an acceptable ADG. If the calves are not gaining much the carrying costs and the fixed costs just eat you up. So many "Stocker" operators supplement permanent pasture heavily with a corn based product to get ADG over 2 pounds per day. [/QUOTE]
