[QUOTE="dcara, post: 674430, member: 473"] Some quick sanity checks 826lbs dressed from 1265 live = 65.3% is real good 1265-600=665lbs in 191 days = 3.48lbs ADG is good. If it took 38 animals to pay the feed bill for a pen of 98 then $135.28cwt * 826lbs*38 = $42461 feed bill, and 665lb gain on each of 98 animals (65170 total lbs) then $42461/65170 = $0.65/lb COG is real real good (assuming yardage was included). You got (135.28*8.26)=$1117 per carcuss. You payed $0.65/lb*665lbs=$432. So your profit= 1117-432 = $685 profit. So now there are 2 questions. 1) How much more is this than you would have got by selling your calf at 600lbs at the barn minus commissions and yardage. 2) What was the annualized return I'm thinking you got about $120 more on number one. For number two I think you can roughly assume that you made that extra $120 by investing about $800 (i.e. about $600 for the calf and about half the feed bill/calf) for 191 days. So (120/800)/(191/365)=29% = pretty darn good. [/QUOTE]
