[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 296992, member: 4362"] This is a loaded question because it all depends on: What type feed are you going to buy ... bulk or bag What breed is he and how heavy boned is he But to try and give you some idea you will probably need at least two rolls of good hay then you will need to figure about $1.50 - $5.00 per day for the feed - depending on what you are using and how you are buying. Now comes the iffy part. What is his feed conversion going to be or in other words how many pounds per day are you going to get for the feed you put in him - let's assume 2.5 pounds a day - assuming your finishing weight is 1200 lbs you are going to have to feed him for 200 days - so it could cost your anywhere from $300 to $1000 to finish him out.(As I said it all depends but one thing is for sure - it ain't cheap) Butchering usually is by the pound hanging weight and doesn't matter too much how you cut him up. They normally charge x amount to kill, x amount to cut and wrap based on hanging weight. Another thing that is sure, It will be goooood! [/QUOTE]
