[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 33401, member: 430"] I guess I don't understand how you could make much money if you have to feed the calves almost everything they eat with very little utilization of grass which is cheep compared to feed. Here is my rationing, I'm I way off here? Buy 200 lb calf = $200.00 feed average of 15 lbs feed a day x 10 days = 3 sacks of feed X $5.25 per sack = 15.75 so every 10 days you spend 15.75 on feed if calf gains 1.50 lbs per day then it takes 226.67 days to grow till he is 600 lbs. so this means $420.05 in feed to get him to 600 lbs. $200.00 for calf $420.05 for feed $ 10.00 +/- for vaccines $630.05 total spent on calf 600 lb calf at $1.10 is $660.00 so you have only made $29.95 and you don't have any expenses taken out of this yet. I'm I not figuring this right? Could someone help me out? [/QUOTE]
