[QUOTE="rkm, post: 280705, member: 2727"] I just visited a friend of mine who just sold his 2005 spring calves. He got what I thought was a good price, 99 cents for 950 lb calves. This was for steers and heifers. I don't know what the percentages of steers to heifers were. He said the calves weaned last nov at about 550 lbs. He feeds them balage and pasture. I was curious so I came home and started pushing a pencil. 950lbs at $.99 $940.50 550 at $1.20 -$660.00 Kept 300d for $ 280.50 He made made 93 cents a day and they gained 1.33 lbs a day. I know he puts up cheap feed, but I don't know if it pays to keep them that long. [/QUOTE]
