[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 33417, member: 430"] I precondition - I buy feed in bulk a ton at a time. last I bought was $180.00 per ton, this works out to $4.50 per 50 lbs. My calves ADG was 2lbs and they are 2 tons per 15 calves in 30 days, which is averaging 8.89lbs per calf per day. BUT- they were on free choice hay and pasture - not dry lotted. Am I doing this wrong?? How much do you have to buy to get it an $.50 per ton??? and where??? I would fill all of our silos at that price. [/QUOTE]
