[QUOTE="dun, post: 741569, member: 34"] That number may be a touch inflated. Break evens are around 88 cwt, how heavy would the calf have to be to cover the feed and still make 800 bucks a head? One sick calf or calf death, animal not gain as well as it should, feed costs go up, slaughter prices go down, are all risks. Those are the risks of retaining ownership for an adfditioanl 150 days or more. We typically get around 150-200 more in our pocket on retained ownership, that's with the premiums for CAB/Sterling Silver and age source verified. Some years we do better some years worse. If the feedlot doesn;t own an interest in the animal he has much less motivation to be econimical, after all, he's primarily selling feed to you plus the managment to slaughter [/QUOTE]
