[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1231489, member: 23550"] the Feed I'm using cost me 150.00 a ton if I can get an extra 50# on a calf before I wean him at 6mth that's money in the bank. one other thing I notice this winter with these calves is their dams held condition better with the calves not pulling them down as much. the ton of feed I fed worked out to be 21.00 per calf and for argument's sake the 285# each of them ate and the ratio is for every 5# of feed they gain 1# that's 57# of gain @ 2.00# =$114.00 per calf 7 @ 114.00 =798.00 - 150.00 = 648 profit cost of getting feed 12.00 fuel, fill the feeder 3 times 10 minutes each =12.50 net profit 623.50 this also does not factor in hay savings and pasture savings by not having those calves on the place longer.
