[QUOTE="VCC, post: 882201, member: 6399"] You are correct, with a set price of 1500 dollars you are not making more by feeding, but are you giving your customers the best product you can? You are know charging your customers 1500 for a 1000 steer, if you fed for 60 days you would have around 150 more in each animal. 1000lbs steer @ $1500 47% yield on finished product= 470lbs 1500 for steer 300 processing = $1800 $3.83 a pound 3.5 pounds ADG for 60 days = 210 lbs more (most calves turn it on from 1000 to 1200) 1210lbs steer @ 1650 47% yield on finished steer= 569lbs 1500 for steer + 150 for feed + 300 processing = $1950 3.43 a pound In the long run if you could talk your customers into $150 more they would end up with about 100 pounds more of product, that is finished, for $.40 less a pound. You can’t even get good hamburger for $4 a pound at the market anymore. [/QUOTE]
