[QUOTE="scvfd_7241, post: 1544604, member: 23717"] The feed that was recommended by the nutritionist is what I have been using to figure everything. I figured it at$300/ton which is .15/lb.. I also figured $15.00 a head for worker, and vaccines. I have tried to figure everything I buy a little on the high side and the selling price a little on the low side. But when I done this buying 400lb calves and keeping them 60 days a d selling at a weight of roughly 520lb shows to be profitable, as well as buying 600lb calves and keeping them 60 or 90 days, too weights of roughly 720lbs or 775lbs. The heaviest calves show to the highest profit at 90 days. Can anyone shed light on this. Also just to check my figures how much grain would you expect the 700 weight calves to consume daily from a self feeder. [/QUOTE]
