[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 164724, member: 2882"] Well, my initial math was wrong, as I calculated "weight/price=" instead of "price/weight=".. What he actually got was $100.5/CWT.. Sorry bout that.. :oops: In any case, there was nothing in my post with which to be agreed or disagreed, as far as I can see.. :?: Though my math was slightly off, what I was said was that he hauled off 24,832lbs of cattle, and was eventually paid $24,960.73 for them... That's $100.5/CWT, unless I'm missing something.. I also said that, if he would have gotten LESS than that (CWT) had he taken them straight to sale instead of taking them to be preconditioned, then he did good -- which is mathematically correct.. I also said if he'd have gotten that or more by going directly to sale and skipping the preconditioner, well, then he took a risk and learned something... Can't see much room for dispute there either, unless you don't think he learned anything? I understand where you're coming from, though, and to say that he'd have gotten $104/CWT for the lighter calves is probably accurate -- BUT it's still an assumption.. I don't know his market.. For all I know, the only reason they brought anything close to $104/CWT was because they were preconditioned.. Maybe they'd have brought $90/CWT at that size if they weren't preconditioned, which might mean that the lighter, non-preconditioned calves would have only brought $95/CWT... In that case, he definitely came out ahead.. I just didn't want to assume anything.. [/QUOTE]
