[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1070319, member: 18945"] :D It just goes against conventional "thinking" to look out at a pen or pasture of animals and see them thinner--or 'empty'. Makes us think we are doing something wrong, and a lot of people go with pushing heavier fuller animals to sale, believing they make up the dock at the scale end. (just pulling numbers out of thin air for illustration purposes here) 600 lbs at $1.50/lb=$900. 800 lbs at $1.40=$1120. But that only works if there is nothing extra spent getting the additional 200 lbs on the animal. [/QUOTE]
