[QUOTE="dun, post: 164602, member: 34"] I'm no geewhiz epert when it comes to math but here goes. When we drop our steers off at the backgrounder a grader determines a base value of each calf based on the muscle, condition and the going rate at the salebarn. When we sell the calves from the backgrounder I add the costs of backgrounding, i.e yardage and feed, to the calves original assigned value and subtract that from what the steer actaully brings when sold. Over the years we've averages about $38 per head profit for 45-60 days of backgrounding. dun [/QUOTE]
