[QUOTE="Central Fl Cracker, post: 365053, member: 1921"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new cattle friend of mine wants me to combine our calves and ship them to a contract grazer and then onto a feedlot. The Grazing will be in Oklahoma and feedlot in Armrillo, TX. about 200 miles away. He needs my 50 400 pounders to make up a full load. Afew questions? 1. When I sell my calves at the auction I net about $200 per calf. He claims we can make $ 350 dollars this way. 2. He says it will cost about $ 4,000 for freight from Fl. and $ 35 per head for contract grazing for about 2 months which should take them to 550 - 600 lbs. 3. Then we send them to the feedlot and retain ownership until they reach 1100 or 1200 lbs. 4. We pay for the grain and a 5 cent a head for penning cost 5. He said they should go for 98 cents a lb one question is how long does it take for the feedlot to put on 700 lbs and what would the feed bill run per month? [/QUOTE]
