[QUOTE="forageconverter, post: 384262, member: 6466"] How much ‘case ready’ beef would be in a 600 lb calf? Using a 600 lb calf, dressing out at 63%, than taking 50% of the hanging weight to get the actual meat in a case, that would leave me with 189 lb of beef at $4.75 a lb which comes out to be $897.75 for the 600 lb calf. If the hay cost me $460 at Dun’s price of $70 a ton, and using your price of beef $4.75 a lb, that leaves me with a profit of $437.75 per calf. Using your hay price of $130 per ton would figure out to a hay cost of $854.10, which would leave me a profit of $43.65 per calf. Of course this only takes in account the cost of the hay, and not the cost of actually making the beef ‘case ready’. [/QUOTE]
