[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 352551, member: 2095"] He feeds 2550 lbs of grain per heifer???? Assuming 205 day wean, subtracting weaning value from final value, dividing that cost value by cost per day, and dividing those days into 2550 and I get 6.5 lbs per day for 392 days. I thought his pasture and forage costs (fertilizer, seed, tillage, bushogging, fence maintenance, hay, etc) at $66 were a little low (I probably can not go THAT low if you value a single roll bale at $25), but that feed total was WAAAYYY up there. No wonder 98% of the heifers are cycling!! [/QUOTE]
