[QUOTE="Texan, post: 37506, member: 416"] My concern would be in making the weight, even though I know you indicated that you're not concerned about it. If they weigh 650 now, contract for 775 in about 50+ days, that's gonna take a 2-2.5ADG to make it. In my opinion, that's a lot to ask for on August/September grass. But then, we don't know your location or what your grass is like. I'm just trying to give you something else to think about. If your gains back off this time of year like mine do, and you just get 1# a day, it'll change your net by a sizeable amount. In fact, if you didn't figure shrink into your net, I can figure it where if your gains backed off to a pound or less and you had to give up a 4 or more on the weigh-up, that $100 net would completely disappear. But like LA said, $100 is a good profit. If I really was confident in making the weight and if all of the weighing conditions suited me, it would be hard to get me to walk away from a contract like that. [/QUOTE]
