[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 685764, member: 3162"] Slaughter cattle are bringing about 44 cents on average at the sale barn. It is going to depend on them being fats, high yeild, low yield or thin and shelly but 44 cents is average. You can check your local market for slaughter cattle prices. The order buyers at the sale barn are making money on them by buying them at that price. So if this guy is paying $42 per hundred gain, he's coming out ahead based on current market price. If you are taking delivery of cutters or canners, you may have trouble keeping some alive. For each one dead you lose the gain on 10 or so healthy cows (give or take). I have no idea what anyone has in mind and don't know enough detail. I wouldn't enter that deal. I'd be better off having someone bale my pasture on the halves and selling the hay. [/QUOTE]
