[QUOTE="dun, post: 95118, member: 34"] It's that getting sick part that breaks your back. When we delivered them to the backgrounder a USDA grader assigned an estimated value based on the calves muscle, weight, frame and condition. It was pretty much a well educated guess and for the calves that dropped out he was very close. Our calves ranged from 46 -48 1/2 cents per pound of gain. Except the one that got sick and was 64 cents per lb of gain. As it was we figured after yardage, feed, medication, etc we netted an extra 30 some bucks a head, except the one that had gotten sick and he was a break even. dun [/QUOTE]
