You also take the hit if the prices drop. Beings as you pay the feed bill if the rate of gain in pounds per day or pounds of gain per pounds of feed that can be a hit. Part of the equation is that you pay a daily yardage fee, so if they are in the feedlot too long that can hurt too. Probably not a good game for a beginner to play.
Exactly. How OLD was your friends steer that weighed 1300#?? How much feed did it take to get him to that weight? How long was he on feed? What did the carcass weigh?kenny thomas said:But if it cost more to get them to the grade the profit is lost.
