[QUOTE="bgm, post: 90417, member: 1754"] I'm fairly new to the cattle business and am wondering about prices at the sale barn. I see, let's say for example the 600lb steers are going for $144.50 cwt. That's $867.00 per head The slaughter cows are going for $60.00 cwt. Assuming a 1300lb animal that's $780.00 per head How do the buyers of the 600lb animals make any money feeding them out? Is there a way for me to turn this around so I can make a bigger profit on the larger animals? Or an I better off selling the animals at around 600 lbs? [/QUOTE]
