[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1725091, member: 968"] I only finish a few for freezer beef, but they average 750# (768# this year), I get $3.50/hanging wt. = $2625 I feed whole shell corn, bought by the ton. Probably the cheapest ration. I calculate about 1.5 Ton/hd, so $425. Protein pellets $90, grass in our sacrifice winter lot. That gives me about But, I have PB Simmental. They are 700# when I start them. A 1200# RA cow bred PB RA or Wagyu is not going to make a 1400# steer unless it has a lot of age. Mine were worth $1015 at starting age (700 x $1.45) = profit of $1095/hd for 210 days labor. I'm not trying to argue - just trying to give them info that is helpful for what they have and plan to do. [USER=39695]@SBMF 2015[/USER] - were yours out of 1200# dam and sires? This is what I'm trying to point out to MRR. I could easily get mine to those weights. I don't shoot for prime - choice is plenty good enough and as young as mine are, they are EXTREMELY tender. Time is money. I am making plenty of profit/hd with little time and output.
