[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1620078, member: 39695"] I go lecture at our local Ag College's Beef Science class. One of our topics is Why Pre Conditioning PAY$. I run very average cows. Mostly Angus based with a handful of red neck baldies and a couple Chars. The last two years I have sold my calves at the same sale in January. Both years my 470lb strs have topped the sale for the 4-500lb weight class. I vaccinate three times; At turn out in May BoviShield 5, Inforce3, Once PMH IN, Alpha7-mb1, Ivomec inj, castrate bulls, Revlor G. - $12.11/Hd. 2nd round at weaning; BoviShield 5, One shot, Somnu Shield, Safe Guard oral , Ralgro. - $8.03/Hd 3rd round; two weeks before the sale. BoviShield Gold One shot, Somnu Shield, Clean up II. - $5.32 My total vet expenses are $25.46/Hd The calves had been weaned and back grounded for 90 days. They went to the sale with vet papers. My 470lb strs brought $808.40 /Hd. The avg 4-500lb strs brought $1.36/lb x 470lbs =$634.50. My strs brought $173.90 more than the average. It cost me $25.46 a hd plus a little time. I always wean my calves when the grass gets short to save condition on my cows. Implants and wormer always give the potential for more pounds. Pounds=$ [/QUOTE]
