We feed by the head, and take in med or small numbers. Depends on the location and the availabilty of feeds as well as the land values. 2006 we were able to bring in weaners at $0.65/hd/day. I don't think I will be able to do that consistantlybut I try to make as good of deal for everyone that I can. We don't generally feed calves, most that come in are to be fed till breeding then AI'd and turned out withthe owners in the spring.
