[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1742563, member: 28532"] At the feeder sale I went to I sold at early this month, the difference between the avg 523# and avg 783# group steers was around $144 a head. That's 55.4 cents a pound to put on that extra 260 pounds. Heifers 529# vs. 759# was $78.70. 34.2 cents a pound for 230 pound gain. If I were running a feedlot, I'd fill it with 7-900 feeders. Those pounds between 600-8 or 900 are the cheapest to buy. Don't make sense or cents for me to put them on. I'm better off buying 3-400 pound unworked calves and putting 200 pound on. Faster turnaround, better money. [/QUOTE]
