[QUOTE="willy25, post: 1392036, member: 26938"] Im looking at getting a few angus steers this spring to fatten up and sell privately. I would like to get some input on my figures and let me know what you guys think! I want to buy them in the 750lb range. I will be keeping them in a dirt pasture with free choice of hay and feeding roughly 20 lbs of cracked corn per day. I am shooting for 180 days on feed at about 2.5lb gain per day? 2.5 per day gain hopefully that is a reasonable number? So here are my figures. 750lb steer at 1.25 per lb. -937.50 180 days on feed x 20 lbs per day. 3,600 lbs cracked corn roughly $160 per ton. -$320 Round up the $320 to $400 for extra cost. Minerals and what not. So total cost would be 1,337.50 750 lb steer at 2.5 per day gain times 180 days- 1,200lbs From my research beef is going for about 2.50 per lb hanging weight(private sale) 60% of a 1,200 lb steer is 720lb hanging weight. So 720lb times 2.50 per lb. -1,800 Total cost of 1,337.50 subtract 1,800 would be a 462.50 per head profit. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and please tell me if I have all these numbers wrong! I appreciate all input! [/QUOTE]
