[QUOTE="Engler, post: 468107, member: 4110"] I figure feed cost of gain at 10 times the price of one pound of corn for 1 pound of gain. So if Corn=$3.50/bu it would look like this $3.50 / 56#/bu x 10 = $0.625 in feed per pound of gain. This isn't an exact number, but here in the midwest where allmost all of the beef is corn fed it gets us in the ball park. You also still have to figure in facilities, labor, machinery... but that's going to float a lot depending on the operation. [/QUOTE]
