[QUOTE="Aero, post: 164379, member: 2076"] i cant agree. the bottom line figures tell the laerning part of this story. on the way out he was paid $31906 for 30640 lb paying him $1.04/lb if he would have sold the same calves at a lighter weight for the same price (usually higher for lighter calves), he would have been paid :[list]24832 lb * $1.04 = $25825.28[/list] if there were no preconditioning costs, he would have done better with the heavier calves, but he had $6945.27 in expenses bringing what he actually made to $24960.73[list]as best i can tell, selling younger calves for $25825.28 is much better than waiting ~75 days to get paid $24960.73.[/list] receiving less money 2 1/2 months later is not coming out pretty well. i commend denogin... for taking the chance to learn and if that lesson was worth the time and money lost, i say he broke even. if he only cares about income, it was a loss.[/list] [/QUOTE]
