[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1734740, member: 1715"] VOG going from 6 wt. to 7 wt. is variable and low. Not a lot of cattle at that weight, which is part of the reason for the variable discount. I ran VOG numbers for early February. VOG for that kind ranged from U$S 0.42 to 0.93. Hard to put weight on for that unless they are on cheap pasture. Only way I can put on a late season pound for that is to dump an end load of by product out in the pasture and feed under a wire. This does not work well during an Artic Vortex. Some like to focus on $ per calf. A few even get fancy and divide to get $/cow for calves weaned. Really really easy to measure, but not a good plan if you have to make payments. [/QUOTE]
