What is going rate?
I got 6 bulls at home that I didn't enter in a sale. Feeding $.07/# corn ($3.92/bushel) and $.06/# ddg at 12/#/hd/day along with boughten square bale hay 1.5 bales/day @ $1/bale. Crap mature pasture hay and it's really light. Along with 1.5 square corn stalk boughten bales @$1/bale.
Pay rent on shed where the 6 bulls are at $100 month. I charge the bulls the rent. The heifers I have there I'm not accounting for out on few acres of grass. But in the end it's costing me out of pocket $1.62/hd/day for the bulls feed/bedding/yard.
Now don't you think a group of 60+ bulls on a TMR diet would but alot cheaper than what I can do?
Got my bill today for $2.11/day and that includes feed, bedding and yardage. Vaccines, pour-on, CTC for a week of bad weather and oh mineral was charged at $40/hd for the 150 or so expected days on feed is an added expense!
