[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1599936, member: 5381"] I can give you a rough guess is all. Not including labor or expense to put out feed,the costs per head were. Feed $46 Six to seven lbs a day for 4 days a week. 14% bagged creep pellets. I fed 96 bags. Hay $5 Put out two rolls which they nibbled around on. Implant $2 I had Ralgro so that's what I used. Shots and wormer $8. IBR, Blackleg, Injection wormer Fly spray Pasture and yardage $65. $1.00 per head per day. So roughly $126. Probably other costs should be included. Weight at weaning was 10064 lbs. Weight at shipping was 12435 or 139 lbs average gain per head. Little bit over 2 lbs a day. The pasture is poor this time of year and the rain stopped mid July so not much there. Your real gain with preconditioning is really the weight they keep after leaving the farm. They would have shrunk 5 to 8% if sold at the local barns even being weaned. Much more in this heat if they were bawlers. A set of scales will give you a lot of valuable information. [/QUOTE]
