[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 164364, member: 2882"] It appears as though he started with 24,832 lbs total live weight, and ended up with $24,960.73 for the sale.. Ignoring all the stuff in between the time they left his care and the time the money came in, that's $99.48/cwt... If they would have brought less if they weren't preconditioned, he did good! If they would have brought that regardless, he took a risk and learned something in the process! Win-win, way I see it. A couple of things do bother me about the numbers, though.... Some just don't jive with the others, if that makes sense.. For example, 3,672 "yardage head days" divided by 48 calves is 76.5 days total, per calf.. Half day struck me as odd... Now take the total feed, 39,944, divide that by the number of calves, 48, and then divide the result by the avg consumption/head/day, 9.52, and you get something like 87.4 days.. What am I missing?? How many days were they actually preconditioned?? [/QUOTE]
