[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 333647, member: 1744"] You will get less per pound for the animal when it sells as a heavier steer. The "margin" is what is made on the difference in the weight of the animal from the time bought and time sold. How about this...you buy a smaller animal for more money because you can grow it into a larger animal for little money if you have the pasture. You sell the heavier animal for less money(per pound) because the next fella can't grow it as you did. The money that is made is in the amount of gain the animal had during the time he was in your care. Fact of life....bigger animals sell for less that lighter younger ones do. I hope that there are more eloquent folks that can explain it better and more simply than I tried to do. And that's just my two bits worth...asked for or not...DMc [/QUOTE]
