[QUOTE="ROB, post: 561876, member: 3467"] MikeC, your approach is funny- but i wouldn't think that the 86 cents/lb of gain is figured from birth (including weight gained off the cow). i would think that by selling meat at $1.10/lb, your breakeven point for cost of gain would be 68.2 cents/lb on the carcass weight. (dressing out at 62%) that would figure correctly no matter what the current weight of the animal. it looks to me like his breakeven point at 86 cents/lb gain on the carcass would equate out to about $1.39/lb of hanging wt. am i looking at this wrong? i havent ever lost money selling butcher beef- but i've never sold it for $1.10/lb either.
