Buying and reselling holstien bull calves

[MF135]

Well hopefully you will have success in the financial sector because you will fail in the cattle sector. You do understand a feedlot makes money on weight gain, everyday cattle are on feed they gained weight. The more days on feed the more I profit. If a yard sits empty I don't profit.

I don't expect you to understand this because you have not been able to understand anything thus far.

Days on feed is the most useful figure. The additional days it takes you to finish your hostein, are days that you could have reinvested your money back in calves to refill your lot. $1000 dollars today is worth more than a $1000 dollars tomorrow.

Here's two more concepts to help you out: You obviously didn't grasp the discount rate :roll: so I doubt you'll have much luck with these either. Maybe they'll help someone out who's actually interested in learning.
Time value of money- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money

do you know what indifferent means? indifferent = wash

Good one, MF. That's like one of those sneaky backdoor definitions from the Word Power game in Readers Digest. It's like definition entry #29 in the complete Oxford Dictionary of the English Language. Keep 'em coming, man!

Now you have proven yourself a complete idiot.

Feedlots profit from pounds gained not head sold. Never seen anyone who could not grasp the concept. First for everything.
