[QUOTE="mudfork, post: 869005, member: 6686"] We took our slaughter steers off this morning, but the scales at the slaughter house were broken so I couldn't get live weights. In order to price for my customers, I'm going to have to back into a live weight estimate based on hanging weight. The steers will range 900 to 1200 pounds live weight. What do you guys feel is a safe hanging weight ratio to live weight. What do you think is a fair price per pound of hanging weight for angus steers in excellent condition, finished on 1 to 2 percent of body weight per day of 50/50 cracked corn/dry corn gluten for 90 days?
